Body Contouring Surgery

Liposuction was described in the 1920s & popularised in 1977 by Illouz. He developed smaller diameter blunt cannulas. To add safety he also developed the wet technique to reduce blood loss. Tumescent anaesthesia described by Klein in 1987 made large volume liposuction safer allowing for more refined body contouring through significantly minimising blood loss. Liposuction journey started as mechanical debulking that evolved over the last 4 decades into a refined high definition body contouring and proportioning surgery, thus making sculpturing a shape of figurine possible. To achieve such high definition body sculpting technology including Laser, and Vaser not only added safety, however, they also achieved outcomes that cannot be matched with the older methods of liposuction, under local anaesthesia. In this chapter we aspire to discuss the journey of how liposuction evolved into body contouring surgery with large volume lipo-aspirates yet more safely.

Abstract Background Currently, corporal perception has evolved among different ethnic groups and a tendency to change from a slim to an athletic shape has been influenced by geography, culture, race, gender, and social media. Although exercise improves health status, physical appearance does as well in the long term. Patients often opt for an immediate solution for which high-definition (HD) liposculpture has been the best choice. However, they differ on their preference regarding muscular definition. Objectives The authors presented a new therapeutic algorithm for HD liposculpture in harmony with body biotypes and patients’ preferences. Methods The authors reported their experience with 1772 consecutive patients, classified according to their body type in endomorph (217), ectomorph (195), and mesomorph (1360), and treated according to our new algorithm. Patients in general good health requesting HD liposculpture were included from June 2013 to September 2019. Pre- and postoperative photographs were taken to evaluate results. Results A total of 479 men and 1293 women were analyzed. Age ranged from 23 to 69 years in men and 18 to 57 years in women. Variable-degree HD liposculpture was successfully performed in all cases. Minor complications included port wound dehiscence (1.2%), seroma (4.1%), prolonged bruising (1.5%), and hyperchromia (10.4%). Superficial burns (0.7%), localized infection (0.4%), erratic skin adhesion (1%), and flap necrosis (0.4%) were also reported. A high-satisfaction index was reported in a nonstandardized patient survey. Conclusions The authors’ new algorithm helps in the decision-making for HD liposculpture according to variable degrees of muscle definition due to patients’ preferences. Level of Evidence: 4

Fat Removal

The evolution of abdominal contouring began with excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue more than 100 years ago. This evolved into proper lower abdominal horizontal incision placement and fascial repair along with dermo-lipectomy. The introduction of liposuction was a sentinel event in body contouring, applicable as well to the entire abdomen. Taken further, abdominoplasty matured with targeted fat removal, fat grafting, and high-definition lipo-contouring. Limited undermining combined with targeted liposuction created an aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour while safely preserving the blood supply to the undermined flap. The introduction of barbed sutures for fascial repair and for wound closure, the use of basting sutures, and lateral to medial flap advancement moved modern abdominoplasty to a safer procedure with impressive aesthetic results. While producing an impressive aesthetic improvement was always the primary goal, increasing attention that focused on decreasing the risks of adverse events and sequelae was an important goal.

History Of

The evolution of body contouring follows decades of procedures and technologic advances in body shaping. Beginning many decades ago with extensive surgical resections of skin and subcutaneous fat, the evolution was dramatically changed with the introduction of suction assisted lipectomy (liposuction). Further refinement in the technique of liposuction allowed more precise sculpting of the body and, most recently, has evolved to high definition liposuction. Following the introduction of liposuction in the early 1980s, energy based devices were developed to allow non or minimally invasive procedures to sculpt the body. The energy sources include laser energy, radiofrequency energy, ultrasonic energy, and plasma based energy. This evolution has provide the cosmetic surgeon with a variety of options to obtain optimal body contouring in a variety of clinical presentations. The safety and the efficacy of these procedures are the most important considerations in adopting new technology and techniques.

The slowscan and TV signal of the Philips SEM 505 and the signal of a TV camera attached to a Leitz fluorescent microscope, were digitized by the data acquisition processor of a Masscomp 5520S computer, which is based on a 16.7 MHz 68020 CPU with 10 Mb RAM memory, a graphics processor with two frame buffers for images with 8 bit / 256 grey values, a high definition (HD) monitor (910 × 1150), two hard disks (70 and 663 Mb) and a 60 Mb tape drive. The system is equipped with Imaging Technology video digitizing boards: analog I/O, an ALU, and two memory mapped frame buffers for TV images of the IP 512 series. The Masscomp computer has an ethernet connection to other computers, such as a Vax PDP 11/785, and a Sun 368i with a 327 Mb hard disk and a SCSI interface to an Exabyte 2.3 Gb helical scan tape drive. The operating system for these computers is based on different versions of Unix, such as RTU 4.1 (including NFS) on the acquisition computer, bsd 4.3 for the Vax, and Sun OS 4.0.1 for the Sun (with NFS).

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.
