Short description:

Body contouring surgeries are pretty common among plastic surgeons and the Brazilian Plastic Surgery is one of the most recognized in terms of innovations.

This book proposes a new approach for treatment of all body abnormalities in order to achieve aesthetic improvement. Written by Brazilian expert contributors, it addresses all body segments related to body contouring, such as breast, abdomen, dorsum, buttocks, lower and upper limbs, and also body lifting techniques after large weight loss. Associated surgeries, new invasive and non-invasive techniques and technologies such as: robotics, lasers, ultrasound, among others will be carefully described in 59 chapters. The work will also discuss the behavior of lipografting to improve body contouring as well as the importance of isolated medial tight lifting.

Body contouring - Current Concepts and Best Practices is richly illustrated by images and will be a reference book for plastic surgeons worldwide.
