Comprehensive Body Contouring: Theory and Practice

By Dennis Hurwitz

Book Overview

This book is an up-to-date discourse on body contouring surgery based on the experience of a plastic surgeon renowned as an innovator. Patient selection, preparation, surgical procedures, and aftercare are presented for those desiring body contouring after massive weight loss, pregnancy, and/or aging. The emphasis is on technique, which is precisely described and filmed. The videos are full length and divided into brief segments appropriately linked through hypertext. A thorough discussion of the surgical principles is presented and referred to throughout the text. Brachioplasty, mastopexy, breast augmentation, upper and lower body lifts, buttockplasty, thighplasty, the full gamut of lipoplasties, and the coordination of these procedures are described in detail. Technique and decision making are contrasted with the writings of other well-known authors. Standardized images and analysis of evaluations and reported complications support the conclusions.
