RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The success of body contouring surgery will largely depend on the correct choice and performance of the technique, and utilization of the necessary scientific measures. Thus, this study sought to highlight the combination and evolution of the abdominoplasty-assisted liposuction technique, while individualizing each case for the patient's benefit. METHOD: We present a series of 188 cases from the past 3 years (2017-2019), using our modification to the surgical technique: performing 360-degree liposuction first, and then abdominoplasty in the same surgical time. We show our aesthetic results, surgical time, and complications, so as to compare them with the literature. RESULTS: Of the 188 cases, 184 were women (97.9%) and 4 were men (2.1%). In 11 cases (5.8%), we recorded 4 hours as a minimum surgical time and 8 hours in 16 cases (8.5%) as a maximum time. Regarding complications, hematomas were recorded in 1 case (0.5%) as the least frequent complication and seromas in 18 cases (9.6%) as the most frequent complication. The aesthetic results, although not objectively measurable, are flattering for both the patient and the surgeon, as shown by documented evidence (photographs) before and after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports favorable results. Modification of this technique has resulted in outstanding body contouring surgery. We hope this procedure can be reproduced because of its few complications and the pleasant results it yields.

RESUMO

Over the centuries, our appreciation of beauty has changed, as has the social environment that influences our perspective. Currently we are trying to use measurable instruments to achieve a better aesthetic result in each patient, using as a reference the "golden ratio," which is found in harmonies of all kinds-in art, nature, architecture, and today, in medicine-to aspire to the ideal proportion. METHODS: We conducted a survey in which we showed participants 4 digitally modified images of a model with different body proportions, 1 with the golden ratio and 3 with other variable proportions. In total, 900 people were surveyed, of which 131 had attended cosmetic surgery consultation, and 769 respondents were recruited on our social networks. RESULTS: Of the 900 respondents, 607 were women and 293 were men. Fifty-nine percent of the surveyed women chose image C (shown in Fig. 3) and similarly, so did 59.4% of surveyed men, which was not statistically significant; however, when considering age, we found the groups of 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50 chose image C at 46%, 65%, and 67%, respectively, whereas 44% of those over 51 years preferred image B, which is statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The image whose waist-hip harmony meets the golden ratio (1.61) is most often chosen as "the most beautiful," by both men and women. It is also the preferred image for all age groups under 50.

RESUMO

The prehispanic medicines of Mexico are considered as testimony of the splendor of the Meso-American cultures; their great scientific advance and technical allowed them to accumulate a vast collection of clinical and pathological data based on the observation and experimentation. They integrated a nomenclature medical surgical that reflected their advance in those fields of the knowledge, where the anatomy and surgery occupied a preponderant paper. The medicine was known generically as ticiotl, of where it derives the term tícitl for the doctor. In their concept health-illness the limits among the magic, religion and the empiricism for natural causes were not clear, therefore they considered that the divine, human or natural origin of the illnesses influenced in an important way in its nature. Inside this complex causal system, the illnesses caused by the gods, spirits and celestial beings were considered as hot, while those caused by beings of the other realm were cold. The practice of the medicine had a very established organization designing a very advanced system of specialties that allowed them to accumulate a vast experience for the handling of chronic and acute illnesses in different progression phases, which managed with an integral therapy that had a plurality of resources of vegetable origin, animal, and mineral. The surgery was designated as texoxotlaliztli and its cures tepatiliztli. The surgeon was designated as texoxotlaticitl and it developed advanced techniques in the handling of sutures, wounded, drainage of abscesses, fractures and joint dislocations, pterygium, tonsillitis, circumcision, and amputations.
