Body Contouring by Lipolysis

Abstract

The concept of modifying the body contour with liposuction by developing numerous subcutaneous "tunnels" with subsequent homogeneous contractions of the overlying skin will add a new dimension to the plastic surgeon's armamentarium. Successful correction of these deformities can be obtained without a large amount of surgical undermining and skin resection and with minimal scar formation (Figs. 4 through 11).
