Weiler J, Taggart P, Khoobehi K (Louisiana State Univ Division of Plastic Surgery, New Orleans) Aesth Surg J 30:702-713, 2010^§

Abstract

Background

The combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty has been slow to be accepted, primarily due to a perceived higher incidence of complications associated with the procedure. There has also been extensive debate about the combined procedure’s effects on flap vascularity and viability and the extent to which liposuction may be performed in conjunction with surgical abdominoplasty.

Objective

The authors present data from their four-year experience supporting lipoabdominoplasty as a safe and effective procedure for body contouring.
