Following these introductory chapters are presentations of specific techniques and surgical strategies in abdominoplasty procedures. Specific topics covered include combining abdominoplasty with breast procedures, lipoabdominoplasty, abdominoplasty with extensive truncal liposuction, and high-tension abdominoplasty.

Each chapter reviews pertinent patient anatomy and considerations, discusses proper patient evaluation, details surgical technique, and reviews common complications. In addition, case examples are provided by the authors to illustrate outcomes. The surgeon interested in abdominal reshaping procedures will find a broad range of state-of-the-art techniques, each well explained.

Another major focus of the book is liposuction. A general chapter on risks and limits of liposuction is presented, along with approaches to different anatomical regions across the trunk and extremities. Modern techniques, such as the SAFELipo procedure, developed by Simeon Wall, are presented.

Information about new technologies in liposuction and minimally invasive fat reduction is included. The information presented in this chapter is helpful for all surgeons—whether a novice or one intimately familiar with these devices—as it provides a succinct review of the technology, treatment differences, and expected outcomes. Another useful chapter covers approaches to secondary liposuction.
