Scarless infraumbilical abdominal lifting.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 1998 Jan;101(1):205-14. PMID: 9427938
If liposuction considerably improves abdominal contours, notably in the
infraumbilical area, the results are reduced, or imperfect, for stretched
abdomens, or with older persons, whose derma contains less elastic fibers. In
this last case, a tightening by cutaneous and adipose suprapubic resections is
most usually necessary. This tightening becomes possible due to fixation to the
pubis of the fibrous and fibrous vasculars tracts connecting the fascia to the
superficial fat. After initial proportional liposuction, shift expansion of the
upper half of the superficial dermoadipose level of the infraumbilical abdomen
and retraction of its lower half result in a harmonious, strengthened, and
tightened abdominal surface, without remaining visible scars.
