“…At present, with the emergence of new techniques, liposuction can be associated with plastic surgery of the abdomen, which is confirmed in the techniques of Saldanha et al 18 and Avelar 17 ; the latter is associated with the detachment and lowering of the umbilicus, which is at odds with previous thinking that that the procedures could not be combined because of the risk of compromising the nutrition of the abdominal skin.…”

“…The technique established by Saldanha et al 18 , which has been used since 2001, is a combination of the concepts of classical abdominoplasty, Avelar's 17 technique, and traditional liposuction. Its use reduces the incidence of usual complications such as enlarged scars and seroma, merging the benefits of extensive skin removal and muscle plication with a significant decrease in the panniculus through liposuction.…”

Background: Mini-abdominoplasty surgery is considered partial because it only targets the area positioned below the navel without requiring transposition of the umbilicus. It is less invasive than classic abdominoplasty and can achieve a more contoured body in a less invasive manner with a smaller scar and shorter recovery time free of major risks and complications. This article presents a technique in which liposuction around the abdomen and flanks, hips, and back is performed as indicated, with resection of the skin above the pubic zone below the navel without detachment of the pedicle. This technique aims for better presentation of the umbilical scar while addressing supraumbilical flaccidity in the abdomen. Methods: Between 2007 and 2010, 24 female patients (aged, 26-55 years) with excess fat in the lower abdomen underwent classic mini-abdominoplasty associated with liposuction. Results:The results were considered satisfactory by both the patients and surgeon. No major complications occurred during surgery or the transoperative period. Conclusions: Mini-abdominoplasty surgery is safe with no severe complications such as infection, pulmonary embolism, and perforation of cavities or skin necrosis. This procedure is effective for the aesthetic treatment of the abdominal region and is easy, fast, and safe to perform. Keywords:Lipectomy. Abdomen/surgery. Plastic surgery. RESUMO Introdução:A miniabdominoplastia é considerada uma cirurgia parcial, pois só trabalha a área que está posicionada abaixo do umbigo, não sendo necessária a transposição do umbigo. É menos invasiva que uma abdominoplastia clássica e consegue obter melhor contorno corporal, de forma menos invasiva, com cicatriz menor, tempo de recuperação um pouco mais curto e livre de grandes riscos e complicações. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma técnica em que são realizadas lipoaspiração de todo o abdome, bem como dos flancos, da cintura e do dorso, conforme indicação, e ressecção em fuso de pele suprapúbica, com abaixamento de umbigo sem a desinserção de seu pedículo, para melhor apresentação de cicatriz umbilical, tratando uma pequena flacidez supraumbilical em abdome. Método: Entre 2007 e 2010, 24 pacientes do sexo feminino foram submetidas a miniabdominoplastia clássica associada a lipoaspiração, com idades entre 26 anos e 55 anos, com excesso de tecido adiposo no abdome inferior. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, sem complicações maiores, e considerados muito bons pelo cirurgião. Não ocorreu nenhuma complicação no transoperatório. Conclusões: A cirurgia de miniabdominoplastia mostrou--se segura, não ocorrendo complicações graves, como infecção, embolia pulmonar, perfurações de cavidades ou necrose de pele. A técnica descrita é eficaz no tratamento estético da região abdominal, de fácil execução, rápida e segura.Descritores: Lipectomia. Abdome/cirurgia. Cirurgia plástica.

“…Careful analysis of these problems relates them to operating on thick skin with excess fat, design of the skin resection pattern, lack of multiple layer closure and not tackling the mons pubis region. In presence of excess fat and regardless of how tight the skin may be pulled, over time, there will be some loss of shape or contour [11,12,13]. Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures currently performed by plastic surgeons around the world.…”

“…An ideal procedure would define the rectus abdominis and oblique muscles, create an athletic contour, and take advantage of the skin retraction produced by superficial liposuction performed by third-generation ultrasound. Here, we describe a new, minimally invasive procedure based on the principles of abdominoplasty (especially those described by Saldanha et al 6 ) and high-definition multilayer liposculpture combined with selective fat grafting. [42][43][44] This procedure-with reproducible, aesthetically pleasing results-is called dynamic definition mini-abdominoplasty (DDM).…”

“…The combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction is also becoming more popular among plastic surgeons as it achieves aesthetic, reproducible, and harmonious results, 3,5,6,13,19,20 especially in postpartum women. Despite new advances, however, many of these procedures' original principles remain the same, and the quality of the results is sometimes far from optimal.…”
