This paper describes the Octopus Technique, a technical modification for tension-free abdominoplasty closure using short vertical relaxing incisions for multidirectional tension redistribution. In 12 consecutive patients, no wound dehiscence or flap necrosis occurred. Preliminary results suggest it is safe and reproducible.
