Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 5
This 44-year-old patient was frustrated by her hanging abdominal panniculus. Efforts at weight loss had plateaued. The patient is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds. Dr. Parker performed a lipoabdominoplasty procedure on the patient’s abdomen along with liposuction of the hips and lateral thighs: 900 cc of fat was removed from each hip and 850 cc from each lateral thigh. The patient recovered quickly with little postoperative pain and loved her rejuvenated torso. She has since become very active at her gym in order to maintain her physique.
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.
