Abdomen Enlarged
Conditions
Brief summary
A tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen.
Detailed description
Lipoabdominoplasty guarantees a safe combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction while minimizing the risk of ischemic flap complications. This is because of the limited undermining performed and the liposuction adjunct, both of which minimize perforator injury. In the last several years, the integration of anatomic definition through the use of liposuction has further refined the procedure, led to improved results, and increased patient satisfaction. The more natural results of the anatomic abdominal definition is a next step in abdominal contour refinement.
