Lipoabdominoplasty Patient 9
This 46 year old patient, from Central NJ, consulted Dr. Parker about drooping breasts and sagging abdominal skin. These developed following the birth of two children a number of years ago and recent 40 pound weight loss achieved with diet and excercise. Dr. Parker performed a lipoabdominoplasty, liposuction of the hips and a breast lift to rejuvenate the patient’s torso. The patient is 5′ tall and weighs 135 pounds. She recovered quickly with little pain. She was able to return to work within 10 days and the gym shortly thereafter. The patient is delighted with her results and says it’s one of the best things she has ever done.
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.
