Abdominoplasty aims to reshape the abdominal wall by combining skin and subcutaneous tissue resection with musculo-aponeurotic reinforcement. The presence of a median or paramedian supraumbilical scar should always be considered in patients for whom an abdominoplasty is planned. In fact, advancement of the superior flap is very limited and leads to unfavorable aesthetic results, as the median scar resembles a cord under tension. A considerable number of these patients have supraumbilical scars consequent to bariatric surgery with massive weight loss. Simple transverse resection cannot guarantee adequate body contouring. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract
Abdominoplasty aims to reshape the abdominal wall by combining skin and subcutaneous tissue resection with musculo-aponeurotic reinforcement. The presence of a median or paramedian supraumbilical scar should always be considered in patients for whom an abdominoplasty is planned. In fact, advancement of the superior flap is very limited and leads to unfavorable aesthetic results, as the median scar resembles a cord under tension. A considerable number of these patients have supraumbilical scars consequent to bariatric surgery with massive weight loss. Simple transverse resection cannot guarantee adequate body contouring. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
