Lipoabdominoplasty: Comparing UAL Versus UAL/PAL Techniques on Complication Profile and Patient Safety
ConclusionBMI over 30 kg/m2 has been shown to have an adverse effect on the profile of complications in both groups, resulting in an increased risk, especially for major and minor complications such as seroma in the UAL group.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Comparative analysis of the efficacy and functionality of abdominoplasty versus minimally invasive techniques in the surgical treatment of diastasis rectus abdominis in postpartum women
ConclusionAlthough current data on minimally invasive approaches is limited, our review reveals that both open and minimally invasive approaches are viable options for diastasis recti repair in postpartum women. Identifying the optimal approach for diastasis recti repair should rely on the patient ’s desired treatment outcome. If the patient indicates a desire for the removal of excess abdominal subcutaneous tissue, abdominoplasty may be a better surgical approach. Alternatively, if the patient puts a greater emphasis on shorter recovery time and smaller surgical incisions/scars, minimally invasive approaches may be a be...

Finesse in Fleur-de-lis Abdominoplasty
Body contouring for weight loss patients usually requires not only lifting but also some extent of central body tightening to achieve complete tissue readjustment. Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty provides best vector correction with nice contouring results, especially for central body type patients, with superior waist definition with or without associated circumferential belt lipectomies. Special interest has been addressed on technical refinements to enhance vertical scar with neoumbilicoplasty as well as the mons pubis projection with marking and suturing refinements. Both the inner scar umbilicus and the monsplasty are sim...

Primary care doctor's perception about the scope of plastic surgeons: A national survey
CONCLUSIONS: There is a clear underestimation of the role of plastic surgery in a wide range of conditions, which may lead to the downsizing of plastic surgery departments in the national health system. It is of utmost importance to educate primary care doctors so that patients are referred correctly and in a timely manner.PMID:37924719 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjps.2023.10.072 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Occurrence and treatment of peripheral nerve injuries after cosmetic surgeries
Although non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures increasingly dominate the cosmetic market, traditional plastic surgery remains the most effective improvement method. One of the most common complications in plastic surgery, peripheral nerve injuries, though has a low incidence but intrigued plastic surgeons globally. In this article, a narrative review was conducted using several databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify peripheral nerve injuries following cosmetic surgeries such as blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy, breast surgeries, and abdominoplasty. Surgery-related ner...

The role of component separation in the treatment of severe diastasis recti abdominis: a new indication for a known technique
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study describing the component separation technique use in cases of DRA without hernia, associated to abdominoplasty surgery. Preliminary results were encouraging, but larger series are required.PMID:37750652 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202309_33584 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Management of the Musculoaponeurotic Layer in Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty has evolved in the last few decades, especially the treatment of the myoaponeurotic deformities. Bulging, lack of definition of the abdominal contour, should be understood and treated according to the individual deformity. Many types of deformities have been recognized and treatment respects the local anatomy in most cases. Scientific basis that consolidate these treatments are discussed as well as possible recurrences and pitfalls of these techniques. The histological composition of muscles and fascia are also discussed and anatomical details help to enrich the knowledge of the correction of this layer. Spe...
