Abstract:

The authors consider modern trends in abdominoplasty aimed at improving aesthetic outcomes with simultaneous minimizing scars in abdominal contouring. One of the important trends includes a minimally invasive approach with minimal incisions and scars. Liposuction has become a safe and widespread method. The last one is used in abdominoplasty not only to achieve a flatter abdomen, but also to improve contours while maintaining natural appearance of umbilicus and sculpting muscle relief. Endoscopic techniques are attracting more and more attention. They allow not only to eliminate diastasis recti and abdominal wall hernia, but also to correct concomitant abdominal pathologies. For example, removal of gallbladder during abdominoplasty has obvious advantages for patients with gallstones. Additional research is needed to study the feasibility of these trends and optimize surgical protocols.
