Emerging Approaches to Augmentation Mastopexy in the Nontraditional Weight-Loss Patient
An aesthetic result of the breast for a body contouring patient is approached from a reconstructive standpoint rather than a cosmetic one. Attenuation of the supportive ligaments, a damaged soft tissue envelope, and generalized laxity of the torso, all contribute to one of the most complex problems in body contouring. The marriage of the reconstructive approach to the breast, advanced soft tissue maneuvers, and new technologies allow for unprecedented results. This chapter presents emerging approaches for supported volumization of the breast through techniques such as breast cerclage suspension, subfascial augmentation, co...

Lipoabdominoplasty with Anatomical Definition
There is a continuous search for better technical alternatives for the treatment of abdominal contour deformities in the practice of plastic surgeons. LADE —lipoabdominoplasty (LAP) with anatomical definition—is a step ahead of the traditional LAP technique. This technique incorporated the principles of highlighting the definition of the abdominal musculature, achieving more natural results with fewer reminders of a surgical intervention. The esthe tic results are much harmonious, with a true abdominal rejuvenated appearance. We can reduce morbidity by the preservation of perforating blood vessels and suspension of Sca...

Patient Evaluation and Surgical Staging
The present article discusses the evaluation and surgical planning of body contouring procedures for weight loss patients. These patients require thorough preoperative evaluation and patient education. Distinction should be made between massive weight loss and moderate medication-assisted weight loss (MMA) as these patient populations are managed differently and there are unique preoperative considerations with the MMA population. Given that weight loss patients often have multiple concerns, combination procedures are often utilized and must be planned with the patient ’s goals and safety in mind.

State-of-the-Art in Body-Contouring Surgery
As a relatively new subspecialty of Plastic Surgery, Body Contouring is understandably rapidly evolving. This 15-article Clinics in Plastic Surgery, authored by recognized experts, covers advances in traditional approaches as well as unconventional new skin excision patterns and minimally invasive technology. Our comprehension, approaches, and outcomes have dramatically improved since the last Clinics in Plastic Surgery devoted to Body Contouring in January 2014. (Source: Clinics in Plastic Surgery)

Lipoplasty in the Overweight Patient
The practice of large volume liposuction, when executed by board-certified plastic surgeons using a variety of energy-assisted liposuction devices, has been substantiated as a secure procedure, yielding enhanced aesthetic results and minimal complications. Techniques including the superwet technique and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction are utilized to diminish blood loss, while also maintaining a keen awareness of the maximum volume of infiltration fluid permissible for safe infusion. Adherence to evidence-based protocols is of paramount importance to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. These protocols encompass...

Interplay of Oblique Flankplasty with Vertical Medial Thighplasty
After 25 years ’ experience, the authors present the senior author’s current integration of lower body lift with vertical medial thighplasty. Mostly, oblique flankplasty with lipoabdominoplasty (OFLA) has replaced the traditional transverse posterior lower body lift and abdominoplasty due to improved esthetics and lower rate of complications. OFLA proceeds either immediately or as a first stage to the medially based reduction of thighs. L-vertical medial thighplasty, facilitated by excision site liposuction and scalpel assisted skin avulsion, is our preferred complimentary operation for predictable resul ts and low rat...

Maximizing the TULUA Abdominoplasty with Oblique Flankplasty
TULUA is an effective non-undermined lipoabdominoplasty with a low transverse wide plication of the rectus fascia that allows aggressive liposuction. For an esthetic 360 ° torso reshaping, oblique flankplasty, also without undermining, is added to correct sagging flanks, raise the lateral buttocks and thighs, and transversely tighten the abdomen. The indications, limitations, technique, and postoperative care are presented. (Source: Clinics in Plastic Surgery)
