The Art of Body Contouring: After Massive Weight Loss, 2nd Edition (EPUB)

This second edition is a how-to resource on body contouring techniques for patients who have undergone massive weight loss, edited by Al Aly and Fabio Nahas. It reflects techniques developed and refined by leading body contouring surgeons, drawing on insights gleaned from the treatment of thousands of patients to help improve surgical outcomes.

The book opens with background on obesity, its prevalence and ramifications, and an in-depth discussion of bariatric surgery, then moves through procedures including circumferential belt lipectomy, lower truncal deformity correction, arm reduction, upper body lifts, buttocks contouring, and the handling of tough breast deformities in massive weight loss patients. Contributions come from an impressive group of global experts, including the late Ted Lockwood, Dirk Richter, Peter Rubin, Jim Grotting, and Constantino Mendieta.

Key features include guidance on eliminating the use of drains in all excisional body contouring surgeries such as abdominoplasty, belt lipectomy, brachioplasty, upper body lifts, and thigh reduction, plus discussion of techniques that significantly reduce seroma rates and effective treatment strategies when seromas develop. High-quality preoperative and postoperative photos and illustrations enhance understanding of techniques and outcomes. The EPUB file is 75.3 MB and requires EPUB reader software such as Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions, not PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.
