Abstract
No one technique provides an optimal outcome for all body contouring patients. There are many surgical options for abdominoplasty. Among these, this abdominoplasty without undermining consists of liposuction around abdominal subcutaneous fatty tissue, excision of lower abdominal flap. The procedure allows aggressive thinning and sculpting of abdominal flap. This operation minimizes the dead space, which often leads to postoperative complications, and preserves neurovascular supply to the abdominal skin. From 1999 to 2004, 18 patients underwent the abdominoplasty without undermining, resulting in high satisfaction rates with no significant complications, such as, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Patients could return to normal activity within a week. This abdominoplasty without undermining is an effective and safe alternative with low complication rate and enhances aesthetic results compared to traditional abdominal surgery.
