Published: October 1996

Since its onset, liposuction has revolutionized the treatment of lipodystrophies. The authors, adept at superficial liposuction and associated with the tumescent technique of anesthetic infiltration, demonstrate the importance of the use of proper cannulas during many surgical steps, and propose a classification according to their main physical characteristics. After a detailed explanation and general consideration of the technique used, the authors describe the different approaches for specific body regions (isolated or associated) and present several superior and unique results attained using superficial liposuction in body contouring.

The "Arrow Factor" in Gluteoplasty and Brazilian Butt Lift.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

January 2025

From the Plastic Surgery Chair, Department of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics (DISC), University of Genova, Italy.

The gluteal region has become a rising area of interest in plastic surgery in recent years, as reflected in body contouring surgery trends. In this study, the authors explain what the arrow effect consists of and how to highlight it during a Brazilian butt lift or a gluteal liposculpture: liposuction of the sacral triangle, fat grafting of the upper gluteal quadrants, liposuction of the dimples of Venus and of the midline superficially to the spinal column, and fat grafting of the erector spinae muscles.

Innovative Mechanical Processing of Adipose Tissue: A Comparative Evaluation of Microfat and Concentrated Micronized Fat for Superficial Fat Grafting.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Body Contouring and Fat grafting Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, No 33 Badachu Road, Shijingshan District, 100144, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Superficial autologous fat grafting is widely used for facial rejuvenation and regenerative treatments, yet its retention rate remains unpredictable. Enhancing the concentration of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has been shown to improve graft retention. Mechanical fat processing techniques can reduce fat granules size for superficial injection as well as elevate the concentration of ASCs.
