Transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps after liposuction of the abdomen

P M Godfrey et al. Ann Plast Surg. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

We describe a patient for whom bilateral transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap breast reconstruction was successfully accomplished several years after liposuction of the lower abdominal tissues making up the flaps. A history of liposuction within the area of a proposed musculocutaneous flap does not preclude use of that flap. Issues related to flap elevation in sites of previous liposuction are discussed.
