Liposuction and tumescent fluid injection at the time of abdominoplasty accompanied by hazards of ischemia, flap necrosis or wound dehiscence have been reported in many recent articles. The problems that cause patients’ complaint and dissatisfaction in tummy tuck operation are: fullness of flanks and epigastric areas, lack of posterior lumbar curve, hanging skin over the incision line and visible scars over the flanks and beyond the swimming suit coverage. The purpose of the present article was to introduce modalities to do proper liposuctioning of whole abdomen without confronting any ischemia or flap necrosis danger. Wide lipoaspiration at the time of abdominoplasty resulted in shortening of the incision line and removing the flanks and epigastric fullness. This study also attempted to introduce authors’ experience in using a new method to omit the complications of classic abdominoplasty operation in 56 cases, operated in three-year period(2000-2003).
