The procedure includes 360\u00b0 comprehensive liposuction of the back and abdomen, elevation of an abdominal flap, subscarpal dissection, dead space, excision of excess skin, umbilicoplasty, and layered closure of the skin flap. The authors present preoperative markings, a 10-step surgical technique, and postoperative care. Outcomes on safety and effectiveness were evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From January 2023 to February 2024, a total of 128 patients underwent surgery using the SHARP technique. Of these, 116 (90.6%) were female. The mean age of patients was 38.1 \u00b1 9 years. The following complications were reported: seroma of the back in 10 (7.8%), and small wound dehiscence and necrosis were reported in 2 (1.6%) and 1 (0.8%) patient, respectively. Aesthetic outcomes at the 6-month mark were positive, with notable enhancement of natural contour and high patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The SHARP technique is a useful option for high-definition abdominoplasty, with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction.
