This is the first volume of its kind to address a new procedure in liposuction. The superficial technique, as perfected by the authors, provides a higher level of achievement in both body and facial contouring, surpassing conventional methods in that the dissection is done in the superficial compartment, close under the skin, as opposed to previous teaching and practice which advocated working only in the deep layers of the subcutaneous tissue. The complete technique for this procedure is presented, featuring: an entire chapter devoted to the distinct advantages of using the syringe as an improved vacuum source; a large chapter on total liposculpture - correction of the iliac crest and lateral femorals as well as the abdomen and inner thighs; a complete discussion of contour augmentation; the use of autologous fat obtained for correction of contour deficiencies in the torso and the face; a clinical section presenting techniques for secondary liposculpting and treatment of contour irregularities and other problems following the previous liposuction; and advances in the treatment of cellulite, outlining the surgical techniques for trimming and smoothing the skin surface.
