Evidence - Based Medicine : Liposuction MOC - CME
نویسنده
چکیده
1697 The purpose of this evidence-based Maintenance of Certification article on liposuction is twofold: first, to briefly summarize the 2011 Maintenance of Certification article by Wells and Hurvitz on the same topic; and second, to highlight recent evidence-based publications that might not have been included in that article or were subsequently published. We will place special emphasis on the most clinically relevant data in the literature and endeavor to highlight the best evidence surrounding unresolved controversies of liposuction indications and treatment algorithms, and related topics such as autologous fat transfer and minimally invasive skin tightening.
