Background: For body contouring, the waist plays an important role in both male and female body structure. Currently, there are procedures that aim to achieve a narrow waist as a result, to achieve an adequate waist-to-hip ratio. This study proposes a technique of ultrasound-guided deep liposuction of the lumbar triangle to achieve favorable and safe aesthetic results.

Background: The rejuvenation and restoration of a well-defined jawline contour are crucial for enhancing facial aesthetics in both men and women. Within the jawline aesthetic unit (mandibular angle), the masseter muscle plays a significant role, as it is responsible for mandibular masticatory movements. We propose a new approach using ultrasound-guided intramuscular fat transfer to enhance the mandibular angle and jawline.

High-definition liposuction is now a reliable procedure that provides more athletic results. It is a trend among plastic surgeons and patients. The ultrasound-guided rectus abdominis fat transfer (UGRAFT) technique has expanded the range of patients who can benefit from rectus abdominis fat grafting, including those without skin laxity.

Background: The success of body contouring surgery will largely depend on the correct choice and performance of the technique, and utilization of the necessary scientific measures. Thus, this study sought to highlight the combination and evolution of the abdominoplasty-assisted liposuction technique, while individualizing each case for the patient's benefit.

Method: We present a series of 188 cases from the past 3 years (2017-2019), using our modification to the surgical technique: performing 360-degree liposuction first, and then abdominoplasty in the same surgical time.

Unlabelled: Over the centuries, our appreciation of beauty has changed, as has the social environment that influences our perspective. Currently we are trying to use measurable instruments to achieve a better aesthetic result in each patient, using as a reference the "golden ratio," which is found in harmonies of all kinds-in art, nature, architecture, and today, in medicine-to aspire to the ideal proportion.

Methods: We conducted a survey in which we showed participants 4 digitally modified images of a model with different body proportions, 1 with the golden ratio and 3 with other variable proportions.
