Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Anatomical Dissection

Background:

  • Abdominoplasty is a common cosmetic procedure.
  • Seroma formation is a frequent complication of abdominoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an efficient partial subfascial abdominoplasty technique.
  • To demonstrate the technique's ability to minimize seroma risk.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection performed behind and above the abdominal superficial fascia.
  • Plane change to supra-umbilical level, reaching the pre-muscular fascia plane.
  • Dissection adjusted based on excess skin amount.

Main Results:

  • Reduced vascularization needs of the subdermal arterial network.
  • Preservation of major lymphatic trunks.
