Color Atlas of Aesthetic Surgery of the Abdomen

This atlas provides guidelines for the accomplishment of superior results in modern aesthetic abdominoplasties. Since the introduction of the liposuction techniques in 1983 the surgical concept of abdominoplasty has dramatically changed. As a consequence, more pleasing aesthetic results are obtained with smaller scars. To obtain this result it is necessary to use liposuction with different approaches to the classical abdominoplasty techniques according to the deformity of each patient. This consideration is fully integrated into the concept of this new work. The book includes analysis of the patient, the preoperative measures, the classification of the problems & the planning of the surgery. It also mentions preoperative classification & results of surgery, as well as possible complications & how to avoid them. It lists definitions of aesthetics of the abdomen necessary for setting goals for procedures & it includes the specific techniques used by the authors.Psillakis, Jorge is the author of 'Color Atlas of Aesthetic Surgery of the Abdomen' with ISBN 9780865773431 and ISBN 0865773432.
