Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 3
This 40 year old patient, referred by another patient of Dr. Parker’s, requested improvement in the fullness of her abdomen. She had given birth to two children by C-section, runs daily including marathons, but is bothered by the laxity of her abdominal skin and “shelf” over-hanging her C-section scar. The patient is 5′3″ tall and weighs 115 pounds. Dr. Parker performed lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction of the hips. He removed 225 cc of fat from each hip. The patient recovered in record time and is ecstatic with her rejuvenated torso.
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.
