Safest Practices for Autologous Buttock Augmentation With Fat Grafting Using a Roller Pump Injection Technique.

Background: Autologous buttock augmentation with fat grafting has emerged as one of the preeminent modalities for body contouring employed by plastic surgeons today. Since 2009, we have used the roller pump injection technique.

Objectives: This procedure can be performed safely without specialized equipment and eliminates the tasks of manual graft preparation and injection.

Safety and Efficacy of Novel Oral Anticoagulants vs Low Molecular Weight Heparin for Thromboprophylaxis in Large-Volume Liposuction and Body Contouring Procedures.

Background: Preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains an important topic in the plastic surgery community. However, there is little consensus regarding appropriate VTE prophylaxis for patients undergoing common body contouring procedures.

Objectives: This study compared the use of two novel oral anticoagulants (Rivaroxaban and Apixiban) vs low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for postoperative chemical prophylaxis in body contouring plastic surgery procedures.
