Abstract: With a progressive adaptation of this technique, it is possible to achieve a harmonious body contour using a safe liposuction method on the abdominal and costal areas, with fast recovery and good to excellent results.

“…This is in agreement with several other published studies on Scarpa's fascia preservation. 7,8,14 Our method of abdominal flap dissection in this series was deep to Scarpa's fascia and our overall seroma rate was 18.6% which is similar to that quoted by Costa-Ferreira et al. 6 Other postulated mechanisms to reduce abdominoplasty seromas are the use of progressive tension or quilting sutures to minimise deadspace and abdominal flap shear.…”

“…22,23 Although this may serve as a reasonable alternative, the key to this technique is limited undermining laterally up to the costal mar- gin. Furthermore, the cause of reduced seroma formation with a subscarpal plane of dissection has been brought into question because of the lack of good anatomical studies delineating postabdominoplasty lymphatic flow.…”

“…Using a more superficial plane of dissection has been proposed as a way to reduce complications associated with abdominoplasty. This concept was first described by Le Louarn 35 but Vasconez et al, [37][38][39] and Saldanha et al 40,41 also published their experience with this concept. These authors proposed that the abdominal flap should be elevated on 2 different surgical planes as opposed to the single plane used on a classic abdominoplasty: in the supraumbilical region a premuscular plane, identical to the one used in a classic full abdominoplasty; in the infraumbilical region a more superficial plane of dissection at Scarpa fascia level.…”
