Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 1
This 38 year old patient, previously diagnosed with a thyroid condition, had lost 50 pounds of weight following medication adjustment, diet and exercise. She wished to improve the appearance of her abdomen and torso. The patient is 5′3″ tall and weighs 190 pounds. Dr. Parker performed lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction of the patient’s hips. He removed 8 pounds of tissue from the abdomen and 650 cc of fat from each hip. The patient recovered quickly and painlessly from the surgery. She is very excited about her improved appearance and enhanced self esteem following surgery. She has renewed her exercise program with a new sense of determination. Prior to his use of lipoabdominoplasty, Dr. Parker would not have been able to achieve as dramatic a result safely in a patient this size.
Lipoabdominoplasty New Jersey
Lipoabdominoplasty is a relatively new procedure that combines aggressive liposuction of the abdomen with many of the principles of a Classic or Traditional Abdominoplasty. The Lipoabdominoplasty procedure begins with liposuction of the entire abdomen. The skin below the umbilicus is excised similar to a classic abdominoplasty, although lymphatic vessels are preserved to minimize postoperative swelling and promote a more rapid recovery from surgery. Next, limited undermining of the upper abdominal skin flap is performed, preserving many blood vessels and nerves to the abdominal wall. The rectus muscles are then plicated. Finally, the upper abdominal flap is advanced and closed with multiple layers of dissolvable sutures that minimize scar tension and postoperative scar spreading.
