Alfredo Hoyos and Mauricio Perez Abstract Ultrasound technologies were introduced to liposuction in the late 80s to selectively emulsificate the adipose tissue and facilitate the fat extraction. Three generations of…
Rachel L. Goldstein, William G. Austen Jr., and Erez Dayan Abstract This chapter explores surgically applicable anatomical, compositional, and diverse physiologic properties of adipose tissue and their effects on outcomes…
Isabel Robinson and Pierre Saadeh Abstract Initially adopted by craniofacial surgeons, three-dimensional imaging technology has more recently expanded into the fields of breast and body contouring. These systems create value…
Jennifer Croix and Anne Chapas Abstract Focused ultrasound technologies offer methods for noninvasive fat reduction and body contouring that are generally safe, targeted, require no to minimal recovery time, and…
Aris Sterodimas Abstract Liposuction was designed to correct unaesthetic deposits of subcutaneous fat; it produces satisfactory silhouette contouring when performed by appropriately trained plastic surgeons using properly selected technologies. However,…
John W. Decorato Abstract Body contouring remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The advent of non-surgical body contouring options has led to a significant increase in the number…
Alix O’Brien and Sherrell J. Aston Abstract Selective noninvasive radiofrequency fat destruction for body contouring using the BTL Vanquish ME (maximum energy) produces some permanent destruction of subcutaneous fat cells….
William Lao Abstract Liposuction is an individualized procedure. With the increasing globalization, plastic surgeons are constantly faced with patients from different backgrounds. This chapter discusses the differences in ideal body…
Villy Rodopoulou Abstract Three-dimensional (3D)-cryolipolysis is a safe and effective noninvasive technique for localized long-term fat reduction of all body areas, introducing a novel patented 3D technology and method. It…
Fig. 8.1 (a–e) Preoperative markings, lower extremities. Zones of adherence are marked in red For the purpose of planning contouring procedures in the upper extremity, Gilliland and Lyos [8] conceptually…
