This surgical procedure is undertaken for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Several surgical techniques may be employed in the performance of an abdominoplasty. Most techniques are based on the excision of the skin in the lower abdomen and the stretching of the skin in the upper abdomen to cover the resulting defect. It is not feasible to utilize a singular technique for each patient. A meticulous assessment of the patient is imperative in determining the optimal technique. The advent of liposuction has provided a valuable adjunct to surgical intervention. This article outlines the evolution of abdominoplasty and the role of liposuction techniques in its development. Furthermore, the outcomes of the surgical method for reducing abdominal flap thickness by tangential excision of the abdominal flap before the advent of liposuction techniques are presented. Abdominal contouring procedures offer patients not only an enhancement in their appearance but also an improvement in their quality of life. Despite the numerous options, it is crucial to select a body contouring procedure that is safe and effective by evaluating the needs and expectations of each patient.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Karın germe ameliyatları bariatrik cerrahi girişimlerinin artması nedeni ile son dönemde yeniden sık yapılan ameliyatlar arasına girmiştir. Bu cerrahi, estetik olduğu kadar fonksiyonel amaçlar güdülerek de yapılmaktadır. Abdominoplasti yapmak için kullanılan farklı cerrahi teknikler vardır. Çoğu teknik, karnın alt kısmındaki derinin eksizyonuna ve ortaya çıkan defekti örtmek için karnın üst kısmındaki derinin gerilmesine dayanır. Her hastaya tek tekniğin uygulanması mümkün değildir. Teknik seçiminde hastanın özenli değerlendirilmesi esastır. Liposuction tekniklerinin gelişimi cerrahi girişime çok büyük bir destek olmuştur. Bu yazıda abdominoplastinin bugüne kadar olan gelişimi, liposuction tekniklerinden bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca, liposuction tekniklerinin gelişiminden önce abdominal flebin tanjansiyel eksizyonu ile abdominal flep kalınlığını azaltmaya yönelik cerrahi yaklaşımın sonuçları paylaşılmıştır. Karın şekillendirme prosedürleri hastalara sadece imajlarında bir düzelme sağlamaz aynı zamanda yaşam kalitelerinde bir iyileşmede sağlar. Birçok seçeneğe rağmen, her hastanın ihtiyacı ve talepleri değerlendirilerek hem güvenli hem de etkili bir vücut şekillendirme prosedürü seçmek esastır.</p></trans-abstract>
