Objective: Tissue liquefaction lipoplasty is a novel, low-energy method cleared for use in aesthetic body contouring and autologous fat transfer. This is a retrospective review of the clinical effectiveness and safety of a liquefaction lipoplasty system for liposuction and autologous fat transfer. Methods: A retrospective review was done evaluating all liquefaction lipoplasty procedures with or...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic axillary lymphadenectomy (EALND) was introduced to clinical work to reduce side effects of conventional axillary lymphadenectomy, while the lipolysis and liposuction of EALND made the process consume more time. The aim of the study was to determine whether immediate liposuction after tumescent solution injection to the axilla could shorten the total time of EALND. METHOD...

Liposuction as a primary modality of treating breast hypertrophy has been reported in the literature; however, many of these reports are small series and personal experiences. This report is the first outcome study to attempt to validate the effectiveness of liposuction as a primary method of breast reduction surgery. Questionnaires were sent to 117 patients who had undergone liposuction breast...

The tumescent technique for local anesthesia improves the safety of large-volume liposuction ( > or = 1500 ml of fat) by virtually eliminating surgical blood loss and by completely eliminating the risks of general anesthesia. Results of two prospective studies of large-volume liposuction using the tumescent technique are reported. In 112 patients, the mean lidocaine dosage was 33.3 mg/kg, the m...

Gynecomastia is a benign proliferation of male breast glandular tissue. Gynecomastia can affect men at any stage of life. Traditional treatment options involved excisional surgeries with periareolar or T-shaped scars, which can leave more visible scars on the chest. The technique presented represents a technique used by the senior author, which relies on ultrasonic liposuction and pull-through ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate insulin resistance imposed by liposuction, correlating its intensity with the extent of the operation. METHODS The sample consisted of 20 female patients without comorbidities, aged between 21 and 43 years, body mass index between 19 and 27 kg/m², undergoing liposuction alone or associated with breasts' prosthesis. We assessed insulin resistance at the beginning and e...

The aim of the present study was to improve methods for the isolation and identification of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Human subcutaneous adipose tissue was collected during liposuction surgery, without ultrasound-assisted liposuction and other assisted techniques, and digested with 0.075% collagenase I. First (P1) and second (P2) passage ASCs were applied to the subsequent experiments....

Introduction: Body contouring is commonly used to enhance abdominal aesthetics; however, managing post-surgical edema remains a challenge. Kinesiotherapy, involving continuous bandaging, may offer solution. Objectives: This study aims demonstrate the effectiveness of Kinesiotherapy in edema, ecchymosis, seroma, and pain liposuction. Material Methods: In clinical trial, 50 patients undergoing li...
