Comparison Between Abdominoplasty Assisted by Liposuction Utilizing Classical (U) Incision Versus (W) Incision: A Randomized Controlled Study

Abstract

The contour of the abdomen is the backbone of body contouring surgery. Patients usually seek abdominoplasty for abdominal wall laxity, excess skin, striae, or diastasis of the rectus muscles. The ideal patient is within normal limits for his or her weight and height (i.e., body mass index), has no plans for future pregnancies, has a moderate amount of excess of skin and fat, and has a mild diastasis of the rectus muscles. The inevitable end scar must be as invisible as possible, symmetrical, and located in regions covered with the minimal clothing.
