Enhancing abdominal surgery: Exploring the 'Lock and Glue' technique

Lock and glue lipo-abdominoplasty, also known as the "lock and glue tummy tuck," represents an innovative technique in abdominal surgery.

In her latest online article, Miss Kerstin Oestreich, a highly experienced plastic surgeon gives us her insight into this procedure.
