INTRODUCTION: Patients who undergo an abdominoplasty frequently complain about the loss of sensibility of the abdominal wall. In this study, we analyze this sensibility after the high tension abdominoplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study of 23 females operated between July 2003 and January 2005. The abdominoplasty technique used in our study combines extensive liposuccion, limited undermining centered on the linea alba and traction sutures. The sensibilty tests are carried out preoperatively, as well as at 3 and 6 months postoperatively...

The use of phosphatidylcholine through superficial injections in the aim to destroy adipocytes has recently become in great favour in Europe. This appealing idea nevertheless needs to be more argued. After one year of use the author advocates the fact that lipodissolution will not replace any traditional liposuccion, but may be helpful in the unfavourable indications of that procedure, thanks to the inflammatory reaction following adipolysis.

The author presents his experience of the autologous fatty tissue transplantation. He calls his method microinfiltration of adipocytes (MIA). The fat of the body is harvested with the technique of syringe liposuccion without trauma and is refined and placed in an intricate layering of autologous fatty tissue with anatomic patented microcanulaes. This procedure named Lipostructure by Coleman is not a lipofilling or "liposculpture" as described by P. Fournier in 1989. By focusing on the procedure as autotransplantation fat grafting technique and fully respecting the delicate nature of the fat cell, the author has been able to document a high rate of success with 3 years follow-up...
