Dr. Patel uses a number of operative techniques to achieve a very attractive result in abdominoplasty. The fat tissue of the abdomen is contoured in thickness in order to produce a smooth transition. In addition, he tightens the deeper (fascial) structures to actually change the shape of the waist.
Lastly, in select patients, he will perform flank and lumbar liposuction combined with surpaumbilical defatting to enhance the final result. Most importantly, he uses an incision pattern which hides easily in the bikini line and has a shape that follows the natural contours of the pubis and groin creases. He utilizes novel techniques to recreate the natural hooding and dimpling of the belly button.
