Body Contouring

Meer over het boek

As plastic surgeons, we strive to merge art and science to enhance clinical outcomes. Our artistic sensibilities guide us in achieving aesthetic results, while scientific analysis provides data to predict successful and safe approaches. Both art and science reflect a high level of skill. Current literature offers numerous descriptions of specific body contouring procedures, but there is a gap for a definitive reference that encompasses the full scope of body contouring, particularly for postbariatric patients and their unique challenges. Dr. Shiffman and Dr. Di Giuseppe recognized this need and aimed to support plastic surgeons navigating the complexities of body contouring surgery. This comprehensive text presents multiple perspectives, with sections addressing topics such as adiposity and lipolysis, the breast, abdomen, chest, buttocks, extremities, and liposuction. It features contributions from leading authors, showcasing a wealth of expertise. Dr. Shiffman and Dr. Di Giuseppe have skillfully edited and compiled these contributions, with both having authored or collaborated on over a dozen of the 87 chapters. Their combined efforts result in a valuable resource that will benefit all plastic surgeons looking to enhance their body contouring techniques.
