Ultrasound-assisted abdominoplasty: combining modalities in a safe and effective technique.
With this article, Dr. Abramson adds his experience with ultrasound-assisted liposuction to the growing body of literature that describes the use of a single-stage, combined-modality approach to treating abdominal lipodystrophy. Although the results that Dr. Abramson presents are encouraging, we believe it is important to emphasize a few salient points. First, Dr. Abramson uses the tumescent te...
متن کاملSafely Combining Abdominoplasty with Aggressive Abdominal Liposuction Based on Perforator Vessels: Technique and a Review of 300 Consecutive Cases
BACKGROUND There continues to be controversy about performing abdominoplasty concurrently with abdominal liposuction. The concern is that liposuction on the already vascularly compromised abdominal flap will lead to increased complications and flap necrosis. The central abdomen is supplied by the epigastric system. If perforator vessels from this system are spared, the blood supply to the abdom...

BACKGROUND The use of liposuction combined with abdominoplasty has been controversial. The combination of techniques has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism and wound-healing complications. Through improvements in venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, refinements in liposuction techniques, and an understanding of anatomy, this cumulative risk has decreased, although t...
متن کاملAssessment of Tissue Perfusion Following Conventional Liposuction of Perforator-Based Abdominal Flaps
BACKGROUND The effect of liposuction on the perforators of the lower abdominal wall has been investigated in several studies. There are controversial results in the literature that have primarily demonstrated the number and patency of the perforators. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of liposuction on the perfusion of perforator-based abdominal flaps using a combined laser-Dopp...
