Clin Plast Surg. 1996 Oct;23(4):551-72; discussion 572-3.

Abstract

This article describes the surgical procedures used for the aesthetic improvements of the flanks and abdomen. A clinical classification for patient selection regarding when to use liposuction, surgery, or both, is included. Isolated flankplasty, isolated abdominoplasty, and combined flanks with abdominoplasty performed in the same stage are reviewed. Finally, secondary problems after traditional abdominoplasty are evaluated. Solutions are described and illustrated.
