  • Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck
    Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip. If you're considering abdominoplasty, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure- when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand. The Best Candidates For Abdominoplasty The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved. Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy. If you have scarring from previous abdominal surgery, your doctor may recommend against abdominoplasty or may caution you that scars could be unusually prominent.

  • PANNICULECTOMY/ABDOMINOPLASTY Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
    Ara Keshishian, MD, FACS, FASMBS Tel : 818‐812‐7222 A Professional Medical Corporation Fax : 818‐952‐0990 10 Congress St., Suite #405 Pasadena, CA 91105‐3027 General Surgery Weight Loss Surgery PANNICULECTOMY/ABDOMINOPLASTY Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Robotic Surgery Panniculectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of excess abdominal tissue, which in lay terms, is called the "apron" or pannis. The Pannis is a redundant layer of skin and fat at the lowest portion of the abdominal wall. Because fat distribution is never even in all individuals, some people have significant deposit of fat at this most dependent part of the abdominal wall, which further aggravates various complications especially back and joint pain. The "apron" (pannis) in an individual may weigh as little as 5 pounds, or as much as 120 pounds. After the majority of your weight loss, “tummy tuck” abdominoplasty and panniculectomy can tighten loose sagging tissues. This surgery is designed to remove and re‐drape redundant lower and middle abdominal wall skin and fat. An incision above the pubic region and extending towards the hips places the scar where it can be hidden by most clothing. The skin and fat are separated from the underlying fascia (layer covering the muscles of the abdominal wall). In the standard operation this dissection continues up to the ribs exposing the vertical muscles (rectus muscles). The skin around the belly button (navel or umbilicus) is divided so the redundant tissue of the upper abdomen can be pulled down. This hole is usually extended far enough down to be removed with the excess tissue.

    Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications, 2011, 1, 36-42 doi:10.4236/jcdsa.2011.12006 Published Online June 2011 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/jcdsa) A Clinical and Histological Study of Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) Mediated Skin Tightening and Cellulite Improvement ——RFAL for Skin Tightening Marc Divaris1, Sylvie Boisnic2, Marie-Christine Branchet2, Malcolm D. Paul3 1Plastic and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, University of Pitie Salpetiere, Paris, France; 2Institution GREDECO, Paris, France; 3Department of Surgery, Aesthetic and PlasticSurgery Institute, University of California, Irvine, USA. Email: [email protected] Received May 1st, 2011; revised May 27th, 2011; accepted June 6th, 2011. ABSTRACT Background: A novel Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) technology was evaluated clinically. Parallel origi- nal histological studies were conducted to substantiate the technology’s efficacy in skin tightening, and cellulite im- provement. Methods: BodyTiteTM system, utilizing the RFAL technology, was used for treating patients on abdomen, hips, flanks and arms. Clinical results were measured on 53 patients up to 6 months follow-up. Histological and bio- chemical studies were conducted on 10 donors by using a unique GREDECO model of skin fragments cultured under survival conditions. Fragments from RFAL treated and control areas were examined immediately and after 10 days in culture, representing long-term results. Skin fragments from patients with cellulite were also examined. Results: Grad- ual improvement in circumference reduction (3.9 - 4.9 cm) and linear contraction (8% - 38%) was observed until the third month. These results stabilized at 6 months. No adverse events were recorded. Results were graded as excellent by most patients, including the satisfaction from minimal pain, bleeding, and downtime.
