During the course of performing abdominoplasties, a plastic surgeon will encounter a certain body habitus characterized by a thick, tethered, and excessively redundant upper skin flap.

Often these patients also demonstrate diffuse and substantial fascial laxity.

One approach to this problem involves direct thinning and release of the flap by resection of the sub-Scarpa’s fat pad.

However, the safety of the sub-Scarpa’s resection has not been completely documented.

The author sought to assess the safety and efficacy of sub-Scarpa’s lipectomy in abdominoplasty.
