Synopsis: Thisbook documents the important advances that have been achieved in abdominoplastyover the past 15 years, in particular through the introduction of anontraumatic approach associated with minimal morbidity owing to the avoidanceof resection of abdominal panniculus and damage to the perforating vessels. Thesurgical principles of this procedure, including in combination withliposuction, are fully described by its developer, Juarez Avelar, with the aidof a wealth of color illustrations. A miniabdominoplasty option is alsodiscussed and recent significant technical contributions such as various newplication techniques and means of minimizing complications are clearlypresented. In addition, a series of chapters explain how the surgicalprinciples underlying the described nontraumatic method of abdominoplasty cannow be applied to other areas of the body, for example to improverhytidoplasty, ear reconstruction, body contouring, and medial thigh lifting. This book enables the plastic surgeon to apply the latest abdominoplastytechniques effectively and safely.
