All patients who underwent high (HD) or HD2 combination fractional radiofrequency...

Background: Plastic surgery aims to enhance patients’ positive features and improve perceived flaws without seeking complete transformation. The body is a living organism, not sculptural object be reshaped at will. Aesthetic standards are influenced by subjective factors, including technology social media’s effect on self-perception beauty ideals. Understanding perception requires consideration of personal views, mirror reflections, external perspectives. Methods: We analyzed data from more...

Background: There is a select group of women for whom mini-abdominoplasty techniques combined with 3-dimensional liposculpture and fat grafting can effectively correct postpartum deformities. Objective: The authors describe multilayer 360-degree approach, dynamic definition (DDM), to create athletic contour restore feminine appearance postpartum. Methods: A total 181 consecutive ages 20 56 years underwent DDM between January 2005 May 2012. Patients who were minimum 6 months in good health,...

Abstract Background Currently, corporal perception has evolved among different ethnic groups and a tendency to change from slim an athletic shape been influenced by geography, culture, race, gender, social media. Although exercise improves health status, physical appearance does as well in the long term. Patients often opt for immediate solution which high-definition (HD) liposculpture best choice. However, they differ on their preference regarding muscular definition. Objectives The authors...

Background: Male chest definition surgery and patients complaining of breast tissue overgrowth have been increasing in recent decades. After the authors’ first report pectoral etching 2012, surgeons became more aware about gynecomastia resection when performing enhancement. The authors present their experience with high-definition liposculpture addition to inverted-omega incision for gynecomastia. Methods: reviewed records on lipo sculpture between January 2005 October 2019 four surgical...

Background: The aesthetics for the male posterior torso remain a topic not fully studied in body contouring surgery, neither lipoinjection of its muscles have been considered before. As result, we carried out retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent fat grafting either trapezius or latissimus dorsi as part dynamic definition liposculpture (HD2). Methods: We performed cadaveric dissections to support technique both and muscles. also searched our records these addition HD2...

High-definition liposculpture (HDL) emerged as an innovative surgical technique that allowed plastic surgeons to achieve improved aesthetic results with a natural and athletic appearance using minimal incisions imperceptible scarring. Its targets are high standards patient safety.This article summarizes the evolution of HDL by explaining upgrades original comparing complication rates among them.The authors retrospectively reviewed records from four private medical centers (Evolution Medical...

Background: One big challenge of body contouring surgery is the liposculpture lower limbs, probably because imperative symmetry and risk contour irregularities. We are reporting our experience in fat grafting thighs calves for men women undergoing dynamic definition liposculpture. Methods: did cadaveric dissections vastus lateralis, medialis, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius muscles identified each their primary pedicles. also performed these contralateral virgin specimen. searched records...

Arm contouring usually represents a challenge for the surgeon due to zones with high risk of irregularities/asymmetries, variable degree skin laxity, and differences between patient/gender preferences. In men, bigger muscular arms better, while women tend prefer slim soft silhouette.We performed arm cadaveric dissections also searched our records patients who underwent fat grafting in addition HD2, from January 2016 May 2022 at single center Bogotá, Colombia.Two hundred eighty-nine...

Background: Rib cage remodeling has shown promising aesthetic results as a new technique for body contouring yet risks and complications associated with the procedure have not been well established. The aim of our study is to assess safety, efficacy patient satisfaction rate surgical waistline definition. Methods: We looked into records patients who underwent waist narrowing through rib osteosynthesis 11th 12th ribs; from October 2022 June 2023. Follow up was carried out at 1 3 months after...

BACKGROUND: Multiple umbilicoplasty techniques have been described, even more after the advent of full tummy tuck procedures and neo-umbilicoplasty (X-shaped incision) described by authors in a previous report. However, we decided to upgrade technique (H-wing due former procedure relatively common complications. PURPOSE: We are reporting case series an upgraded for technique) compared its outcomes with our standard (X-Shaped). METHODS: reviewed records neoumbilicoplasties performed between...
