Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of lipo-abdominoplasty in remodeling abdominal contour.Methods From June 2011 to February 2015, 35 patients underwent lipo-abdominoplasty. Liposuction was performed on the flanks and whole abdomen using superwet technique with a blunt cannula of 3 mm or 2.5 mm diameter. After liposuction,selective subcutaneous separation was performed to reshape abdominal contour. The undermining area was limited to the internal borders of the rectus abdominal muscles. Following removal of the redundant skin and subcutaneous tissue, the abdominal flap was sutured using the progressive tension anchor suture technique. Results Primary wound healing was achieved in 28 patients. There was hematoma in 3 cases, partial wound dehiscence in 3 case, which improved after symptomatic treatment. No flap necrosis occurred. After followed up for 3 to 26 months, the abdomens were flexible, and the incision scar was not invisible. All the patients were satisfied with abdominal contour. Conclusion Lipo-abdominoplasty is a safe and effective technique for abdominal contouring.
