## Abstract

As the aesthetic expectations of our society are rising, the patients are increasingly inquiring about ways to reduce the postoperative scars and avoid multiple operations. Herein, we present a case of cholecystectomy combined with lipoabdominoplasty whereby gallstone disease, abdominal wall laxity and skin excess were concurrently addressed, thereby eliminating the need for trocar-incisions on the abdominal skin. We can conclude that lipoabdominoplasty with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe combined procedure that can be performed selectively in patients with cholecystolithiasis and body contour problems leading to improved cosmetic results without the presence of unnecessary scars.
