The marriage of aggressive superwet liposculpture of the abdomen and adjacent anatomic regions with a modification of well-established open surgical techniques to address skin excess and perform muscle plication was used to treat 29 patient…

The authors present a technique that combines autologous latissimus breast reconstruction with the thoracoabdominal advancement flap. The aim is to reduce the patched effect of the dorsal skin paddle and to minimize scars on the reconstruct…

A 6-year prospective study of 80 abdominoplasties is reported. Type and incidence of complications are presented with particular attention toward the incidence of fluid collection following abdominoplasty, such as seroma and hematoma. Ultra…

Many methods have been described for the treatment of gynecomastia. Eleven adolescent boys have been managed with a bipedicle technique. These patients were evaluated for nipple-areolar viability, scarring, patient satisfaction, and hematom…

Liposuction has greatly contributed to the improvement of the aesthetic result of abdominoplasties. However, one should consider the high rate of seroma when liposuction is performed via an inferior approach during abdominoplasty. The autho…
