" 07/01/2010 - "Short scar abdominoplasty results in significant contour improvement in the properly selected patient. " 01/01/2007 - "This simple technique results in improved flank contour and a shorter scar in patients undergoing classic abdominoplasty." 09/01/2004 - "Benefits of combining abdominoplasty with lipoplasty include reduction of abdominal flap volume, improvement in the final quality of the scar, and improved tissue contraction. " 04/01/1984 - "Much of the scarring was eliminated and the form of the abdomen restored by an atypical inverted T abdominoplasty."
2.	Seroma 10/13/2023 - "PTS are highly effective in preventing seroma and can be safely employed as an alternative to drains in abdominoplasty. " 10/16/2017 - "Abdominoplasty with preservation of Scarpa's fascia or placement of progressive tension sutures was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of seroma compared with that of standard abdominoplasty (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0002, respectively). " 01/01/2021 - "Abdominoplasty using PTS without drain and combined with liposuction was effective in reducing seroma rates. " 07/01/2021 - "Surgical Management of Chronic Encapsulated Abdominal Wall Seroma 8 Years after Abdominoplasty." 01/01/2021 - "The purpose of this review and meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of PTS without drains in reducing seroma rates associated with abdominoplasty. "

"
4.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 01/01/2021 - "The combination of HTA and the Six Sigma methodology was useful to prove the possible advantages of creating skin incisions with a scalpel in full abdominoplasty, particularly a significant reduction in the total drain output and a reduction in wound healing problems, namely, wound dehiscence, when compared with electrosurgery, despite considering two limited and heterogeneous groups." 06/01/1998 - "Uniform use of subcutaneous closed-suction drains (since 1995) was associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of wound breakdowns and a shorter hospital stay in the panniculectomy group. " 12/01/2017 - "Negative pressure wound therapy is feasible and effective in patients with wound dehiscence following post-bariatric abdominoplasty. " 12/08/2021 - "Finally, we showed that abdominoplasty skin-derived ADMs might serve as an effective and safe option for deep wound treatment. " 12/04/2020 - "Panniculectomy combined surgery for the management of EC appears to be a safe procedure and results in comparable outcomes compared with conventional laparotomy with regard to complications and improved wound breakdown rates."
5.	Pain (Aches) 03/01/1999 - "All patients demonstrated significantly improved contours and have seemed to manifest less pain when compared with patients treated by full traditional abdominoplasty. " 11/01/2015 - "We, therefore, decided to study the incidence and characteristics of persistent pain after abdominoplasty, which is one of the most frequent cosmetic surgical procedures. " 11/01/2010 - "This is the first study showing successful long-term relief of pain associated with abdominoplasty using a combination of intercostal, ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, and pararectus blocks.
