Popis: The evolution of techniques in abdominal surgery, with low postoperative morbidity and lower complication rates, has always motivated surgeons to search for innovations in plastic surgery [1–16]. Lipoabdominoplasty was developed and patterned as a safe and functional option with which to perform liposuction and abdominoplasty during the same surgical procedure, promoting the benefits of both techniques. This technique generates a better aesthetic result and can be learned quickly because surgeons are accustomed to performing each procedure (liposuction and abdominoplasty) separately. This technique does not involve simply using liposuction while performing abdominoplasty; it has a much wider concept, respecting the complete abdominal anatomy. Traditional undermining is substituted with cannula undermining. As a consequence, the blood supply coming from the abdominal perforating vessels is not stopped.
