Multi-Level Abdominoplasty eBook

Multilevel Abdominoplasty is the first dedicated text to integrate anatomy, surgical technique, postoperative taping, and complication management into a single, layered philosophy of abdominal contouring. Building on over twenty years of operative refinement and >1,000 clinical cases, Dr Friedman details how strategic lateral-to-central tension, full-length rectus plication, and Scarpa-sparing dissection produce durable three-dimensional results while lowering seroma and wound-dehiscence rates. Special chapters address lipo-abdominoplasty, massive-weight-loss patients — including those on GLP-1 agonists — and the author's 'Paper Corset' taping protocol that halves wound-complication rates at 21 days.
