ABDOMINOPLASTY TECHNIQUES: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND CURRENT VIEW ON MAKING INCISIONS

Abstract

Critical selection of optimal locations for surgical incisions in abdominoplasty led to the elimination of inefficient and unsafe variants spoiling the esthetic perception. Currently, a low horizontal incision in the bikini area is considered as a gold standard. The most widespread technique is complete abdominoplasty with a transposition of the umbilicus and a liposuction as an additional option to create harmonious contours. To avoid adverse outcomes and complications such as excessive tension, ischemia and necrosis of the marginal flap, one should take into account both anatomy and physiology of anterior abdominal wall blood supply.
