Liposuccion

INTRODUCTION: Several studies have evaluated the effect of liposuction or abdominoplasty on metabolic health, including insulin resistance, with mixed results. Many overweight patients, with no marked obesity, are recommended to undergo liposuction combined with abdominoplasty, but no study has evaluated the effectiveness of combining the two procedures on metabolic health. METHODS: The present prospective cohort study compares the metabolic parameters of 2 groups of normoglycemic Hispanic women without obesity...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and cosmetic results of an innovative procedure for modified Colson flap-graft consisting of immediate defatting of the flap by a liposuction cannula. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed among patients with deep hand burns requiring a modified Colson flap between 2018 and 2021. Outcomes included functional and cosmetic assessment of the hand through a quality-of-life questionnaire, a sensitivity scale and a scar assessment scale...

BACKGROUND: After massive weight loss (MWL), the chest in men may show significant deformities. The surgical treatment of gynecomastia after MWL remains a difficult and partially misunderstood surgery due to 4 main factors: a complex excess of skin in height and width that sometimes continues in the axilla or dorsal region, a predominantly fatty rather than glandular component, the malposition of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) that is often enlarged and an inframammary fold (IMF) that is often marked...

Gynecomastia is the most frequently breast lesion in males. 148 patients (mean age 24,7 years) operated in our department were reviewed with a mean follow-up of five years. Gynecomastia occurred most frequently during puberty (77,7 %), was bilateral (86,5%) and idiopathic (89,9%). The size of the enlargement was evaluated according to Simon's-classification based on breast-volume and skin-redundancy. 17 (11,5%) stage 1, 77 (52%) stage 2A, 32 (21,6%) stage 2B, 22 (14,9%) stage 3. Clinical examination and mammography determined the consistency of gynecomastia: adipose or firm...

Conservative treatment of lymphedema usually includes complex decongestive therapy in order to reduce the volume of the lymphedema, and compression garments in the maintenance phase. Follow-up is carried out in the Rehabilitation Services. Surgical treatment of lymphedema is a therapeutic option, the interest of which has increased in recent years, although there is no current evidence that it can cure lymphedema and it is always accompanied by conservative treatment. Most studies focus on results according to the type of surgery and there is no standardized protocol for conservative treatment before or after surgery...

Isolated injury to the axillary nerve associated with the patient́s surgical position is a very rare complication, and in most cases it is associated with the prone during spinal surgery. The presentation of this pathology in relation to surgeries of another nature is exceptional, with only a few cases in the scientific literature. We present the case of a patient who developed symptoms of isolated left axillary nerve palsy after undergoing lipoabdominoplasty and breast reduction, in which the prone and supine positions were alternated...

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de la refrigeración en la apoptosis y la viabilidad del lipoaspirado en las primeras 2 horas después de la toma. Método: Se incluyeron 20 pacientes que fueron sometidas a una liposucción del abdomen por razones estéticas. Se obtuvieron 5 ml de grasa y se procesaron para su estudio. La viabilidad se determinó usando azul tripano. La apoptosis se determinó usando el ensayo TUNEL. Resultados: Todas las pacientes eran mujeres, con una edad media de 36...

Cervicofacial lifting is one of the most iconic procedure of plastic surgery and is about hundred years old. In the following chapters of this report, numerous technical points will be specify. A baseline reliable and reproducible technique, appealing to the largest possible audience is presented in order to begin this surgery in optimum conditions. Pre- and postoperative management is also exposed. The aim of this chapter is to precise incisions and baseline operative technique of cervicofacial lifting, with description of SMAS and platysma suspensions as well as complementary procedures like liposuccion and lipofilling...

After World War, especially during the interwar years, new plastic surgical techniques were highly developed by I two French surgeons: Dr Raymond Passot, a pupil of Pr Hippolyte Morestin, Head of surgery department in Val-de-Grâce military hospital, Father of the Gueules cassées and Dr François Dubois, a pupil of Pr Sébileau, head of ear nose throat disorders department at Lariboisière Hospital in Paris. By the way of papers, publications and interviews to media, they described new French cosmetic techniques (rhitidectomy, sutures, liposuccion) and extensively developed this outpatient surgery...

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...
