Application of liposuction techniques in thinning flap: Initial results
Main Article Content
Abstract
In reconstruction, the thinning flap is necessary to ensure the suitability of flap with the features of a defect. However, thinning techniques have not been introduced popularly in literature. Most of plastic surgeons have applied the technique introduced by Hyakusoku et al. in 1994 - using scissors to cut off the subcutaneous fat layer.
Firstly, we apply liposuction to thin flap in three flap, deep inferior epigastric perforator free flap, superficial cervical perforator flap and circumflex scapular artery perforator free flap.
All flaps survive completely, have the suitability of flap with the characteristics of reconstructive area.
