Introduction

This work was undertaken because there is no true “text” on liposuction that cov-ers the gamut of techniques, indications, uses, complications, and medical legal problems. Even the term liposuction has been converted to such things as lipo-plasty, liposculpture, lipostructure, lipexeresis, suction lipectomy, and suction-as-sisted lipectomy. This variety of terms is to attract patients to the individuals who have coined these terms or to describe a more artistic form of doing liposuction. The procedures and their variations are all (perhaps taking the glamour out of the surgery) simply liposuction.

Since 1974, when the procedure was first conceived by Arpad and Giorgio Fisch-er, [1,2] to its production of a variety of cannulas, suction machines, and attempts to make the surgery easier on the surgeon with power cannulas, laser assisted lipo-suction, external and internal ultrasound, and massage, there have been attempts to modify, improve, and extend the indications for liposuction by surgeons in a variety of specialties. The addition of tumescent local anesthesia,3 an old concept, [4-9] has improved the safety of the procedure and increased the amount of fluid that can be removed. Today liposuction is one of the most frequent cosmetic pro-cedures performed.

Physicians performing liposuction must be adequately trained and experienced in the potential and actual complications before attempting to perform liposuc-tion. Patient safety is the most important aspect of all surgeries, but especially cosmetic surgery, which is an elective and not a medically necessary surgery. It is, however, a psychological necessary surgery where the patient wishes to be his/hers imagined perfect body image. What patients do not understand is that cosmetic surgery may not meet his/hers expectations. This requires the surgeon to be espe-cially careful in explaining the surgery and possible risk and complications to the patient. New technology helps to improve results but experience, care, and skill of the cosmetic surgeon, thinking in three-dimensional terms, is necessary to obtain optimal results that satisfy the patient.

Liposuction alone may not be the answer to a patient’s beautification. There may be other procedures necessary to meet the patient’s expectations and these must be a thorough explanation by the surgeon to the patient.

Liposuction began as a contouring procedure but has evolved into the treatment of the obese patient, gynecomastia, ptosis, macromastia, and even patients who have complications from heart disease or diabetes. Other disorders such as axil-lary sweat hypersecretion, lipomas, and angiomas are also potential disorders that may be treated with liposuction.

The contributors to this book have spent time and effort to present to the cos-metic and plastic surgeon as much information as possible in the techniques and uses of liposuction for cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgery purposes. There is an attempt to present broad subjects that will peak the surgeon’s interest in perhaps exploring other uses for liposuction. There are still more disorders that may be treated with liposuction that have not yet been explored.

The contributors are international so that techniques and applications of lipo-suction that may not be in common use in the certain countries can be presented.

VIII

Liposuction is a surgery that is international in origin, in concept, and in usage. There is a need to bring together the international community of physicians to examine, evaluate, and research this procedure. It is the editors’ hope that all sur-geons performing liposuction will benefit from this book.

Introduction

Preface

Liposuction surgery is one of the commonest cosmetic procedures performed in the USA. Despite its popularity there have been some poor results and even fa-talities from the operation. Not enough information has been distributed to physi-cians and the public on the non-cosmetic applications of liposuction. Breast re-duction with the use of liposuction as well as the treatment of obesity and male gynecomastia are performed regularly. There has been an evolution in liposuction as physicians have found successful treatment of a variety of other medical and surgical problems.

This book brings together all of the present known non-cosmetic uses of lipo-suction and shows the specific methods utilized as well as the results. The future will introduce liposuction as a treatment of other medical and surgical problems as medical knowledge and experience progresses.
