Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 6
This 32 year old patient, referred by another physician to Dr. Parker, requested improvement in the appearance of her abdomen. She works out regularly, but following the birth of her children, developed significant stretch marks in her skin and laxity of her abdominal muscles. The patient is 5′5″ tall and weighs 126 lbs. Lipoabdominoplasty was performed by Dr. Parker. The patient healed very quickly following her surgery. She returned several months later and requested liposuction of her hips, outer thighs, inner thighs and knees. Dr. Parker removed the following amounts of fat from each side: hips-375cc, outer thighs-175cc, inner thighs-300cc, and knees-50cc. Again, the patient recovered rapidly from the surgery and was extremely happy with her improved body contour.
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.
