Aesthetic abdominal deformities: a personal approach to the posterior rectus sheath and rectus muscles.

We have detailed our experience with abdominoplasty. The technique is based on undermining of the rectus abdominis muscle, treatment of the posterior sheath, and limited resection of the medial edge of the rectus muscle. The fatty and muscular redundancy in the epigastric region has been eliminated by resection of the muscle edge or local suction lipectomy.
