These days one of the most common aesthetic surgery procedures is abdominoplasty with liposuction, whose initials in English are SAL, and it is used to correct complete abdominal deformities in certain patients. Liposuction alone can produce a good abdominal contour but can not correct muscle fascia deformities. The opposite is true with abdominoplasty alone - it corrects the muscular deformities and the excesses of fat but without giving a very appropriate contour to the abdominal wall. It is used more in patients with a large abdomen that present a deformity in the form of a flap. Few patients present either only fat, or only relaxed muscle-fascia, for which only one of these interventions would be necessary.  

The mini abdominoplasty combined with liposuction, with its skin scars, limited dissection of subcutaneous tissue and reduced morbidity, could correct the fat deformities and the deformities of the inferior abdominal wall muscle.  

For patients who have lost a lot of weight causing an excess of skin, the spare skin can be pulled back by means of a miniabdominalplasty without a lot of cutting of the subcutaneous tissue. This procedure brings few or no complications, and is simpler and quicker to carry out.  

This surgery is directed to young, middle-age patients who have fat accumulations located in the inferior part of the abdomen - from the navel down - and who have significant muscular flaccidness  due to a lack of exercise.  

Now that the abdomens are in fashion because of clothing styles and accessories, these combined procedures may be the best alternative to improve people’s image and self-esteem.
