Results : Primary case TULUA in as a combined procedure TULUA Francisco Villegas MD. Abdominoplasty Tuluá- Colombia
Results : secondary case TULUA in a patient with previous abdominoplasty, skin and umbilical necrosis. Note extent of the new resection, no supraumbilical detachment and low scar placement . TULUA Francisco Villegas MD. Abdominoplasty Tuluá- Colombia
Results : Hernia repair Villegas F. A paradigm shift for abdominoplasty: transverse hypogastric plication without supraumbilical dissection, unrestricted liposuction, neoumbilicoplasty, and low placement of the TULUA Francisco Villegas MD. scar (TULUA).

Results : Male abdominoplasty COMPLICATIONS • No flap necrosis • No fatal cases • No deep vein thrombosis • No Pulmonary embolism • 14 umbilical skin graft loss (evolution to good umbilicus) • 8 seromas (syringe drained) TULUA Francisco Villegas MD. Abdominoplasty Tuluá- Colombia
Conclusions: TULUA FULL liposuction with vascular safety • Can be indicated in ALMOST every abdominoplasty. • Widens indications to more difficult cases. • Advantages -flap vascularity -scar positioning -umbilicus placement.
