Jawline Aesthetic Definition: Enhancement with Masseteric Augmentation Using Ultrasound-Guided Fat Transfer.

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.

Waist Remodeling without Incision, with Ultrasound-guided Monocortical Fracture.

Background: Rib remodeling is a surgical technique for waist shaping in women and men. However, one of the main patient complaints is the scar. We aimed to describe a scarless, ultrasound-guided rib remodeling (RibXcar) technique that assessed the degree of angular variation of the fracture by ultrasound and the variation in waist measurement and patient satisfaction through a survey.

Anatomical Bases for Aesthetic Costal Surgery: Assessing the Thoracoabdominal Limits.

Background: Knowing the anatomy of the ribs is crucial for understanding various rib procedures. The present study is aimed at describing radiological measurements and ratios of 83 Latin American patients undergoing thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT).

Methods: A total of 83 thoracoabdominal computed tomography scans of women aged 18-35 conducted at a medical center in Lima, Peru, were reviewed from January 2022 to January 2023.

Ultrasonography as a Tool to Improve Preoperative Marking in Body Contour Surgery.

Background: Body contouring surgery and surgical drawings are usually performed based on the surgeon's experience without considering the nature of the unique anatomical structures of each patient. Thus, we propose a more reliable surgical design approach that considers the anatomical structures of each patient. Ultrasonography is increasingly used in plastic surgery and helps plastic surgeons to highlight anatomical features representing results in their interventions by providing a better understanding of the patients' unique structures.

Ultrasound-guided Fat Graft of the Obliques-Serratus Complex.

Background: The idea of the anterolateral thoracic musculature in men during the contour procedure is very limited, particularly in terms of surgical techniques that improve its appearance and aesthetics. Therefore, this study aimed to describe a technique of deep definition liposuction with intramuscular grafting of the serratus external oblique muscle complex.

Methods: A retrospective case series of a total of 11 cases of male patients aged between 29 and 60 years in the year 2022 is presented.

Intramuscular Posterior Thigh Volumization: An Aesthetic and Harmonious Transition to the Gluteal Region (Hv-FAT).

Unlabelled: The gluteal region remains the preferred site for fat grafting. However, the transition from the gluteal region to the thighs has not been well studied. This study aimed to describe an echographic guidance hamstring volumization procedure (Hv-FAT) as a complement to body contouring surgery.

Incorporation of the UGRAFT Technique to High-definition Liposuction.

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.

Echo-guided Lower-back Sculpture and Volumization as a Complement to High-definition Liposuction (XPINE-FAT).

Background: Knowledge about lower-back aesthetics is very limited, especially regarding surgical techniques that improve its appearance. Thus, this study aimed to describe a high-definition liposuction technique with intramuscular grafting of erector spinae muscles (longissimus).

Methods: A total of 15 female patients 25-48 years of age were recruited between November 2021 and January 2022, who underwent body contouring surgery and subsequently underwent a low-back lipodefinition and echo-guided intramuscular erector spinae (longissimus) fat graft to complement the procedure.

Ultra HD Liposuction: Enhancing Abdominal Etching Using Ultrasound-Guided Rectus Abdominis Fat Transfer (UGRAFT).

Unlabelled: High-definition (HD) liposuction has allowed surgeons to sculpt the abdomen, enhancing abdominal etching. To create a more athletic abdomen, fat grafting has been used subcutaneously, and rectus abdominis fat grafting has been performed in patients undergoing lipoabdominoplasty. With the objective of increasing muscle volume to obtain a natural-looking abdomen in patients who are not suitable for abdominoplasty, we propose the use of ultrasound-guided rectus abdominis fat grafting (UGRAFT) in association with HD liposuction.
