There is a continuous search for better technical alternatives for the treatment of abdominal contour deformities in the practice of plastic surgeons. LADE-lipoabdominoplasty (LAP) with anatomical definition-is a step ahead of the traditional LAP technique. This technique incorporated the principles of highlighting the definition of the abdominal musculature, achieving more natural results with fewer reminders of a surgical intervention. The esthetic results are much harmonious, with a true abdominal rejuvenated appearance. We can reduce morbidity by the preservation of perforating blood vessels and suspension of Scarpa's fascia. The correct selection of the patient makes the procedure safe and reproducible.

Introduction: This study elucidates the application of Medium Definition Liposuction Abdominoplasty, a novel technique for achieving well-defined abdominal contours. The technique focuses on revealing the patient's inherent muscular volume and form by creating thinner flaps compared to traditional liposuction methodologies.
Methods: Objective evaluations of the abdominal wall's configuration were systematically executed both pre- and post-intervention for each participant.

Background: In the past two decades, lipoabdominoplasty has increased in popularity worldwide, presenting low rates of complications and morbidity when the proper surgical steps are followed. The authors present an update of the lipoabdominoplasty technique with the addition of an abdominal definition and standardized steps for its safe execution, an initial personal experience with the procedure that improves the aesthetic results.
Methods: Anatomical limits are described for preoperative markings for selective liposuction with abdominal definition.

Lipoabdominoplasty is one of the most frequent abdominal body contouring procedures performed today. It guarantees a safe combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction while minimizing the risk of ischemic flap complications. This is because of the limited undermining performed and the liposuction adjunct, both of which minimize perforator injury.

Background: Studies describing recent abdominoplasty modifications have reported a decreased incidence of seroma, attributed to preservation of abdominal lymphatics. However, there are limited anatomical data to support this hypothesis. The authors sought to characterize the lymphatic architecture of the abdominal wall and provide a conceptual basis for further refinement of abdominoplasty techniques.
