Liposuction cover

This book offers an extensive exploration of liposuction techniques and practices, making it a valuable resource for both new and experienced surgeons in the field.

This well-illustrated book provides a comprehensive overview of liposuction, covering essential topics such as anatomy, pathology, and biochemistry. It delves into preoperative care, the necessary equipment, and the full range of procedures available. Additionally, it addresses complications, postoperative care, outcomes, and the condition known as lipedema, as well as the medical-legal aspects surrounding the practice.

In comparison to the successful first edition, this updated text includes many new chapters that focus on recently introduced techniques. While advancements in technology play a significant role in enhancing results, the importance of experience, care, and skill from the cosmetic surgeon cannot be overstated. Achieving optimal results that satisfy patients requires a blend of these elements, making the knowledge shared in this book invaluable.

Liposuction serves as an essential resource for residents, fellows, and both practicing and highly experienced surgeons in plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, general surgery, and related subspecialties. The contributors have dedicated considerable time and effort to ensure that this book equips cosmetic and plastic surgeons with the most pertinent information regarding the techniques and applications of liposuction for both cosmetic and non-cosmetic purposes.

“The presentation of basic, advanced, and innovative techniques, as well as historical perspectives, render this book invaluable for surgeons who use liposuction. It describes the scientific basis and technical advances that enable successful outcomes. … This is a superb research and procedural guide that will provide readers with a wealth of practical and updated information necessary for successful outcomes in liposuction.” (Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2016)
