RESUMEN
Existe en la práctica diaria de los cirujanos plásticos una búsqueda continua de mejores alternativas técnicas para el tratamiento de las deformidades del contorno abdominal. La LADE (Lipoabdominoplastia con defi nición anatómica) da un paso más adelante de la técnica LAP tradicional. Esta técnica incorpora los principios de resaltar la defi nición de la musculatura abdominal, consiguiendo resultados más naturales y con menos estigmas de una intervención quirúrgica. Los resultados estéticos son mucho más armoniosos, con un verdadero aspecto abdominal rejuvenecido. Logramos reducir la morbilidad preservando los vasos sanguíneos perforantes y suspendiendo la fascia de Scarpa. Una correcta selección del paciente asociado a la estandarización de esta técnica hace que el procedimiento sea seguro y reproducible
There is a continuous search for better technical alternatives for the treatment of abdominal contour deformities in the practice of plastic surgeons. LADE Lipoabdominoplasty with Anatomical Defi nition is a step ahead of the traditional LAP technique. This technique incorporated the principles of highlighting the defi nition of the abdominal musculature, achieving more natural results with fewer reminders of a surgical intervention. The aesthetic results are much harmonious, with a true abdominal rejuvenated appearance. We can reduce morbidity by preservation of perforating blood vessels and suspension of Scarpa's fascia. The correct selection of the patient associated with the standardization of this technique makes the procedure safe and reproducible

INTRODUCTION: The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a safe technique that entails body reshaping through buttock augmentation using autologous fat transfer. METHOD: Between 2018 and 2022, 3000 patients underwent surgery. Each procedure commenced with the patient in supine position, starting with abdominal liposuction, followed by fat transfer to hips. Subsequently, the patient was repositioned to a prone stance. Liposuction of the back and waist ensued, concluding the surgery with fat transfer to the buttocks. Stringent precautions were implemented to ensure the safety of the patient throughout the procedure. RESULTS: Eighty-six percent of patients express satisfaction with their outcomes, while seventy percent of the transferred fat calls survive in the buttocks. One serious complication and some minor complications have been encountered and effectively managed through conservative measures. CONCLUSION: BBL proves to be a safe and satisfactory surgery when performed by experienced surgeons who adhere to fundamental principles.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to improve perioperative management of patients undergoing tumescent liposuction (TL) through the development and implementation of a perioperative evidence-based protocol, educational course for perioperative staff, and patient discharge instructions. DESIGN: The TL protocol was validated using the modified Delphi process. The educational course and discharge instructions used a pre and postimplementation design. METHODS: An evidence-based protocol, an educational course for perioperative staff, and readable discharge instructions for patients undergoing TL were developed in accordance with best practice guidelines. The protocol was validated by subject matter experts at the facility and submitted for adoption. The evidence-based educational course was implemented, and the effectiveness of the course was evaluated for improving providers' knowledge and self-confidence. The evidence-based discharge instructions were implemented and evaluated for patient satisfaction and readability. FINDINGS: Three items were removed from the protocol, 2 items were modified, and 25 items were accepted with no change from modified Delphi analysis. Provider knowledge scores improved from 85.7% ± 16.18 to 97.1% ± 4.88; however, this was not statistically significant (P = .066). There was a trend toward improved confidence scores (P = .180). Overall patient satisfaction scores slightly improved postimplementation; results were not statistically significant (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: All three phases of perioperative care in patients receiving TL were evaluated, reflecting best practice guidelines and successful adoption. There was no statistically significant improvement in provider knowledge, provider self-confidence, or patient satisfaction. A small sample size was a significant limiting factor.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, aesthetic procedures aiming at body remodeling and have grown exponentially. Cryolipolysis (CLL) has stood out as a noninvasive resource that acts directly on the subcutaneous adipose tissue promoting a significant reduction of adipose tissue through of cooling that could lead to the crystallization cytoplasmic lipids, loss of cellular integrity, apoptosis/necrosis of adipocytes, and local inflammation, producing selective loss of adipose tissue. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a specific technique of CLL application on the inflammatory reactions of the target tissue in different post-application times. METHODS: This is a randomized, blind clinical study that evaluated the tissue sample of six patients after 45, 60, and 90 days of an innovative protocol for the application of CLL, with samples collected through abdominoplasty surgeries. The samples were evaluated by immunohistochemical analyses of several markers. RESULTS: A significantly greater increase in fibroblasts was observed at 45 days and greater phagocytic action at 60 days. Regarding the apoptosis process, the expression of caspase 3 and cleaved caspase 3 markers varied at different times, with cleaved caspase 3 being higher at 45 and 90 days after CLL application. CONCLUSION: The protocol of the CLL presented in this study was able to induce inflammatory responses in addition to confirming the selective apoptotic action at the different times studied.

Objetivo: Analisar se os cirurgiões-dentistas têm conhecimento das implicações judiciais embutidas na cirurgia estética de bichectomia. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo no qual foi aplicado um questionário estruturado aos docentes cirurgiões-dentistas da Faculdade Maria Milza (FAMAM) que realizam bichectomia. Os dados do questionário foram organizados em forma de tabela, apresentando informações sociodemográficas e sobre o conhecimento deles em relação aos aspectos judicias embutidos neste tipo de cirurgia. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 08 cirurgiões-dentistas, docentes da Faculdade Maria Milza. A maioria era do sexo masculino, com idade entre 29 a 39 anos, com tempo de docência menor igual a 5 anos e atuando em clínica privada. A maioria afirmou estar ciente das possíveis implicações judiciais e se previnir destas, no entanto, grande parte da amostra estudada não tinha conhecimento do Código Civil Brasileiro. Conclusão: A maioria dos dentistas não possuíam conhecimento sobre o Código Civil Brasileiro, mas sabem que podem responder processos movidos pelos pacientes. Frente a isso, eles estão se protegendo de possíveis implicações de ordem judicial relacionados a cirurgia de bichectomia.(AU)
Objective: To analyze whether dentists are aware of the judicial implications embedded in cosmetic surgery for bichectomy. Methods: This is a descriptive study in which a structured questionnaire was applied to the professors-dentists at Faculdade Maria Milza (FAMAM) who perform bichectomy. The questionnaire data were organized in form of a table, presenting sociodemographic information and their knowledge in relation to the judicial aspects embedded in this type of surgery. Results: The sample consisted of 08 dental surgeons, professors at Faculdade Maria Milza. Most were male, aged between 29 and 39 years old, with less than 5 years of teaching experience and working in a private clinic. The majority claimed to be aware of the possible legal implications and to prevent them, however, a large part of the sample studied was not aware of the Brazilian Civil Code. Conclusion: Most surgeons had no knowledge of the Brazilian Civil Code, but they know that they can respond to a lawsuit brought by patients. Faced with this, they are protecting themselves from possible implications of a court order related to bichectomy surgery.(AU)

The effectiveness of using quilting/progressive tension sutures in reducing seroma formation after abdominoplasties is well established in the literature, eliminating the use of drains regardless of the simultaneous performance of liposuction. However, despite being widely studied and advocated, the quilting/progressive tension sutures technique is still not widespread, and most surgeons still insist on the use of drains. The author provides a brief literature review on this subject and comments on the work carried out by Wen et al., analyzing divergences between literature data and those presented by Wen et al., and trying to identify the causes of low adherence to the evaluated technique.

BACKGROUND: Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. Complications associated with submental liposuction are rare. However, when they occur they are significant and can cause disfiguring consequences. The objective of this study was evaluated complications from submentual liposuction in literature and description of clinical experience of complication after submentual liposuction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: At first, a scoping review was carried out online search with no time restrictions for complications after submental liposuction was performed in the databases Medline / PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, type of esthetic procedure, anesthesia, complications, time after Procedure, treatment, follow-up care, and sequelae. Then, a case of a patient with submental hematoma after an aesthetic procedure for submental liposuction was described. RESULTS: Firstly, 539 articles were selected, after application of the inclusion criteria, 4 studies were included. Most cases were female (8:1), with a mean age of 55.77 years. Postoperative complications were found, such as submental depression, submental edema, hypertrophic scar formation, scar contracture, cervical necrotizing fasciitis, Cervico-facial dystonia and transient facial nerve paralysis. The follow-up period for cases ranged from 3 to 12 months. The clinical case presented there was no sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: Submental liposuction requires the surgeon's attention. Anatomical knowledge, correct clinical and surgical management, diagnosis, and immediate approach to adverse situations are points that must be respected in this type of esthetic procedure to avoid more serious complications.

Introducción. La abdominoplastia ha evolucionado desde una simple resección en bloque de piel y tejido celular subcutáneo hasta un procedimiento multimodal que combina la corrección de todas las capas del abdomen asociado a una liposucción circunferencial para mejorar el contorno corporal. A pesar de que la combinación de liposucción y abdominoplastia ha demostrado ser segura, aún no hay un consenso en cuanto a la cantidad de volumen que se puede extraer en las diferentes áreas sin aumentar el riesgo. Con el fin de disminuir dichas complicaciones, Villegas desarrolló una modificación a la técnica clásica que denominó abdominoplastia TULUA. A partir de entonces, comenzamos a realizar la técnica con resultados satisfactorios, por lo que el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar dicha experiencia a través de una serie de casos con la técnica de TULUA y las modificaciones realizadas a lo largo de los años. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional, retrospectivo y descriptivo de todos los pacientes intervenidos de abdominoplastia TULUA desde julio de 2017 hasta julio de 2020. Resultados. Fueron intervenidos 28 pacientes, todos del género femenino. La edad promedio fue de 45,6 años; 26 casos primarios y 2 secundarios; 24 de las cirugías fueron abdominoplastias TULUA convencionales y 4 fueron miniabominoplastias asociadas a mini-TULUA. El 67% de los casos fueron realizados con cirugías concomitantes. El promedio del volumen de liposucción fue de 3,3 litros. El promedio del tamaño de la plicatura fue de 7,5x22,9 cm. El tiempo promedio de cirugía fue de 3,01 horas. Seis pacientes evolucionaron con complicaciones. Conclusiones. La abdominoplastia TULUA es una alternativa a la abdominoplastia convencional que puede ser aplicada tanto en abdómenes primarios como secundarios, con resultados aceptables. Puede ser de gran utilidad en casos con cicatrices abdominales previas o pacientes con riesgo aumentado de complicaciones vasculares, como tabaquistas. La principal ventaja radica en su seguridad vascular al no generar un despegamiento epigástrico lo que permite una liposucción sin restricciones con preservación de perforantes y menor espacio muerto. Además, a través de la plicatura transversal, permite corregir la laxitud de la pared abdominal, disminuir la tensión sobre la cicatriz y ocluir el espacio muerto. El neoombligo, si bien es un desafío, logra resultados aceptables a largo plazo.
Introduction. Since its inception, abdominoplasty has evolved from a simple en-bloc resection of skin and fat to a multimodal approach that combines correction of all abdominal layers with simultaneous circular liposuction for silhouette contouring. Liposuction in combination with abdominoplasty has proven to be safe and effective, however, there is still debates on how much fat can be safely removed without increasing complication rates. To avoid vascular complications, Villegas addressed a set of modifications to abdominoplasty which he named TULUA. Since then, the authors had performed this technique with acceptable cosmetic outcomes. In this paper, we present a clinical series, marking some technical aspects and evaluating the results. Methods. A retrospective study was carried out involving 28 patients who underwent TULUA abdominoplasty between July of 2017 and July of 2020. Technical aspects, main outcomes and complications were reported. Results. Between this period, TULUA abominoplasty was performed in 28 patients by the senior author. Traditional abdominoplasty was performed in 24 patients and mini abdominoplasty in 4; 26 were primary cases. Mean amount of simultaneously aspired lipoaspirate was 3,3 liters, mean duration of surgery was 3,1 hours and mean size of plication was 7,5x22,9 cm. None of the patients had any skin necrosis or seroma; 6 patients presented complications. Conclusions. TULUA abdominoplasty is an alternative technique to classic abdominoplasty that can be perform in primary and secondary cases with acceptable cosmetic outcomes. Some population with increased risk of vascular complications such us smokers, patients with prior abdominal scars or secondary revisions may have an increased benefit from this approach. The main advantage of this technique is regarding vascular safety by limiting undermining and preserving vessels which allows a full liposuction with less risk. Also, by performing a transverse plication, abdominal wall laxity is addressed, tension at the suture line is reduced and limited dead space is obtained, thus reducing the chance of seroma.

BACKGROUND: Loss of volume is perhaps the most frustrating problem of fat grafting. The process of fat grafting depends on different variables such as harvesting, processing, and injection techniques. Results between studies that evaluate the effect of the cannula size on fat graft survival have been controversial. However, the role of the fenestration area of the cannula has not been described. METHODS: Four custom-made cannulas with a single fenestration were used for this study. Cannulas vary in diameter and area of the fenestration. Healthy patients seeking primary liposuction of the abdomen for aesthetic reasons were included. Lipoaspiration was performed in a clockwise pattern, and the order of the cannulas was rotated. Negative pressure was maintained at 0.8 atm at all times. Ten ml of fat, obtained from the suction tube, was poured into 20-ml conical centrifugal tubes for further processing. One gram of lipoaspirate was extracted from each sample, and acridine orange stain was added. Adipocytes were extracted, extended in a frotis, and observed by a histologist (masked fashion) under fluorescence microscopy. Viability was reported in percentages per sample. RESULTS: The overall viability was 64.75% ± 18.58. The viability of the obtained samples ranged from 66.51± 20.66 % to 62.83 ± 18.1. In further analysis, comparing the viability according to the shaft diameter and fenestration area, there was no significant difference among groups. CONCLUSIONS: Neither the diameter of the cannula nor the size of the fenestrations are determining factors to affect the viability of the adipocytes.

Liposuction is a common aesthetic procedure; however, to date, liposuction has not been linked to morphea. The aim was to review cases with a history of liposuction that presented active morphea lesions in the same surgery regions and were confirmed by ultrasound and histology. A retrospective descriptive analysis of the clinical, ultrasonographic, and pathology database took place (2014-2020). Eleven patients met the criteria. Ultrasound supported the diagnosis, and the ultrasonographic signs of activity in these cases matched the features described in the literature in 100% of cases. In summary, morphea may appear after liposuction and ultrasound can support its early detection.

INTRODUCTION: Enhancing and altering body contours has increasingly been the focus of new technologies and techniques in aesthetic treatments. The buttocks are seen as a symbol of beauty, sensuality, and attraction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors described a technique for female and male gluteal augmentation. It uses a special marking, a safe plan, and a specific product. The patients chosen for this technique wanted to have an augmentation or projection effect on the buttocks, but were not willing to undergo surgery. The product used was Sofiderm Subskin Aeskins. The plan of injection was the subcutaneous as no major blood vessels were found. RESULTS: The authors report good aesthetic results with the proposed technique. The patients reported a high degree of satisfaction. DISCUSSION: The product chosen has a high G prime and a larger molecule size, which accounts for resistance to deformation and a high lifting power. Thus, result can be visible in a large body area. As the anatomy between male and female buttocks are different, different techniques were used for each gender. CONCLUSION: The LL body contour technique for gluteal augmentation proved to be a minimally invasive technique, with quick results, without major risks and downtime.

BACKGROUND: Cryolipolysis with plates is a method of applying cooling without a vacuum system, which can be used in regions with less chance of forming a "crease." OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of cryolipolysis using a plate-shaped applicator (Crioplac) in the treatment of fat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an experimental study in which women aged 25 to 45 years with adiposity located in the abdomen participated. Two applications of 75 min were made, using 04 plates in the abdomen regions, with -4 degree C being programmed as a temperature parameter. Anthropometric and ultrasound assessments were performed, and a satisfaction questionnaire on the validated treatment was conducted. The reassessments were performed 30 and 60 days after the first intervention. RESULTS: A reduction in adiposity was observed in the measurements of perimetry, plicometry and abdominal ultrasound (p<0.05). It was found that about 62.5% of the volunteers reported an improvement in water retention, about 62.5% reported the presence of loose clothing, and 31.3% reported satisfaction with the results obtained. It was observed that 18.5% of the volunteers reported that the treatment was excellent. CONCLUSION: The Crioplace method proved to be effective in reducing adiposity, with a high clinical satisfaction with the reduction in body measurements.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of cryolipolysis on the fat thickness of the lower abdomen of healthy women and patient's satisfaction. METHODS: Design and setting: a randomized controlled trial, with concealed allocation and blinded assessor. PARTICIPANTS: 34 healthy women between 18 and 48 years, skinfold in the lower abdomen ≥3cm, BMI between 18.5 and 27kg/m2, low level of physical activity, and no contraindication to cryolipolysis were allocated to intervention group (IG, n=17) or control group (CG, n=17). INTERVENTIONS: The IG received one session of cryolipolysis with -10°C of temperature for 50min. The CG was not submitted to any kind of intervention. Both groups did the evaluation protocols at baseline, 30, 60 and 90 days after the intervention. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: fat thickness was measured by ultrasonography (US), skinfold (SF) and abdominal circumference (AC1 and AC2). RESULTS: No significant differences between the IG and CG were demonstrated at any evaluation at any time of follow up for the variables US (30 days: 0.05cm (95%CI: -0.12; 0.22), 60 days: 0.05cm (95%CI: -0.11; 0.20) and 90 days: 0.04cm (95%CI: -0.7; 0.25)), SF (30 days: -0.09cm (95%CI: -0.25; 0.08), 60 days: -0.14cm (95%CI: -0.36; 0.09) and 90 days: -0.001cm (95%CI: -0.237; 0.234)), AC1 (30 days: 0.42cm (95%CI: -1.1; 1.9), 60 days: -0.1cm (95%CI: -1.74; 1.54) and 90 days: -0.007cm (-1.9; 1.9)) and AC2 (30 days: 0.183cm (95%CI: -0.84; 1.20), 60 days: -0.13cm (95%CI: -1.61; 1.35) and 90 days: -0.31cm (95%CI: -1.61; 1.00)). CONCLUSIONS: The current study showed that a single application of the utilized protocol of cryolipolysis does not produce any significant effect on fat thickness of the lower abdomen of healthy women. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03160976 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03160976). Contribution of the Paper: the study is one of the first studies in the literature with methodological rigor to report an unfavorable result for localized abdominal fat treatment with a single session of cryolipolysis.

INTRODUCTION: Pubic hypertrophy, defined as an abnormal and abundant round mass of fatty tissue located over the pubic symphysis, is frequently underestimated in patients with hypospadias. We examined the prevalence of this condition, as well as the outcomes associated with its surgical treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Within 266 hypospadias patients treated at our clinic, we assessed the prevalence of pubic hypertrophy, and we schematically described the surgical steps of pubic lipectomy. Multivariable logistic regression (MLR) tested for predictors of pubic hypertrophy. Finally, separate MLRs tested for predictors of fistula and any complications after pubic lipectomy. RESULTS: Of 266 hypospadias patients, 100 (37.6%) presented pubic hypertrophy and underwent pubic lipectomy. Patients with pubic hypertrophy more frequently had proximal hypospadias (44 vs. 7.8%), disorders of sex development (DSD) (10 vs. 0.6%), cryptorchidism (12 vs. 2.4%), and moderate (30°-60°) or severe (>60°) penile curvature (33 vs. 4.2%). In MLR, the loca-tion of urethral meatus (proximal, Odds ratio [OR]: 10.1, p<0.001) was the only signifi cant pre-dictor of pubic hypertrophy. Finally, pubic lipectomy was not associated with increased risk of fi stula (OR: 1.12, p=0.7) or any complications (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 0.64-2.88, p=0.4) after multi-variable adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: One out of three hypospadias patients, referred to our center, presented pubic hypertrophy and received pubic lipectomy. This rate was higher in patients with proximal hypospadias suggesting a correlation between pubic hypertrophy and severity of hypospadias. Noteworthy, pubic lipectomy was not associated with increased risk of fistula or any complications.

Introduction: Liposuction has been improved continuously since it was first introduced. The third-generation ultrasound technology VASERTM (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) facilitates liposuction, providing improved safety and satisfactory results, especially in the search for greater definition and superficial liposuction. Methods: From 2015 to 2017, 76 patients underwent liposuction to improve their body contour at the Santa Monica Hospital Center in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The results, complications, and the safety of VASERTM were evaluated. Results: The routine use of VASERTM improves body contour. The emulsification generated by the device, along with liposuction, resulted in greater definition and revelation of the anatomical landmarks. Conclusion: Liposuction associated with VASERTM allows plastic surgeons to refine the results better while ensuring patient safety is maintained.

Introdução: A lipoaspiração corporal e abdominoplastia são cirurgias muitas vezes realizadas em conjunto para obter melhores resultados na modelagem corporal. Cirurgias associadas sempre aumentam a espoliação, por isto conhecer o comportamento da hemoglobina (Hb) no pós-operatório e a recuperação do paciente submetido a estas cirurgias combinadas é importante para sua segurança. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a queda da Hb e a recuperação clínica e laboratorial dos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia combinada de lipoaspiração corporal e lipoabdominoplastia. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo prospectivo em pacientes submetidos à lipoaspiração corporal e lipoabdominoplastia, coletando-se hemogramas antes da indução anestésica, ao final da cirurgia, antes da alta hospitalar, após a 1ª, 2ª e 4ª semanas de pós-operatórios e também acompanhando suas evoluções clínicas. Resultados: A média da Hb ao final da cirurgia e na alta hospitalar foi de 10,4g/dl (desvio padrão (DP) 0,76) e 8,92g/dl (DP 0,86), respectivamente. A recuperação em média da Hb após 1ª, 2ª e 4ª semanas foi de 2,4% (DP 18,07), 41,6% (DP 18,4) e 74% (DP 15,2), respectivamente, em relação a redução que ocorreu entre a Hb inicial e a da alta hospitalar. Queixas de fraqueza e lipotimia foram frequentes até o segundo dia. Conclusão: A melhora clínica ocorreu até o segundo dia de pós-operatório (DPO) e a hemoglobina levou aproximadamente 1 mês para normalizar na maioria dos pacientes tratados apenas com reposição oral de ferro, sem necessidade de hemotransfusão.
Introduction: Body liposuction and abdominoplasty are surgeries often performed together to obtain superior results in body modeling. Since associated surgeries often increase spoliation, being aware of the evolution of hemoglobin (Hb) in the postoperative period and during the recovery of the patients undergoing these associated surgeries is important for their safety. This study aimed to analyze the decrease in Hb and the clinical and laboratory results throughout the recovery of patients undergoing body liposuction associated with lipoabdominoplasty. Methods: A prospective study was conducted with patients undergoing body liposuction and lipoabdominoplasty. CBCs were collected before anesthetic induction, at the end of the surgery, before hospital discharge, after the 1st, 2nd, and 4th postoperative weeks, and during their clinical follow-up period. Results: The average Hb values at the end of surgery and hospital discharge were 10.4 g/dL (standard deviation (SD) 0.76) and 8.92 g/dL (SD 0.86), respectively. The average values during the recovery of Hb after the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks were 2.4% (SD 18.07), 41.6% (SD 18.4), and 74% (SD 15.2), respectively. This is in relation to the reduction between the initial Hb and at hospital discharge. Complaints of weakness and lipothymia were frequent until the second day. Conclusion: Clinical improvement was observed until the second postoperative day (PO day). Hemoglobin required approximately 1 month to normalize in most patients. These patients were treated only with oral iron replacement and did not require blood transfusions.
