Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 10
This 34 year old, referred to Dr. Parker by another patient, requested improvement of her sagging breasts and abdomen following childbirth. The patient is patient is 4′11″ and weighs 112 pounds. Performing a staged procedure, Dr. Parker inserted 150 cc silicone implants (chosen by the patient in her Sizing Session) into a partial submuscular location and performed a vertical mastopexy to lift the breasts. Additionally, he performed a lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction of the hips, removing a total of 600 cc of fat from each hip using the VASER ultrasonic liposuction system. The patient’s recovery took somewhat longer than usual, but she is very pleased with the improved size and shape of her breasts as well as her more youthful abdomen and hips.
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.
