TEXTBOOK : ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN LIPOSUCTION AND FAT TRANSFER

Edited by Nikolay Serdev .
240 pages . 

Liposuction is the first cosmetic procedure to change beutification surgery from open 

extensive excision surgery into a more atraumatic closed one. It gave rise to the 

modern understanding of minimally scarring and minimally invasive surgery and 

changed the understanding and preferences of both patients and doctors. It also 

became the most common procedure in cosmetic surgery world-wide, practiced by an 

increased number of physicians from various specialties. The techniques of fat 

grafting, closely bound with liposuction, have found widespread application and fat 

stem cells seem to be changing the future of many areas in medicine.

Training became necessary in view of the constantly changing and developing 

character of medical science, and because of the progress in new devices emerging on 

the market.

Turning the pages, the reader will find a lot of information about advances, tips and 

tricks, and important milestones in the development of the different methods 

available, such as classic, power, ultrasound, laser and radio-frequency assisted 

liposuction etc. Most useful anesthesia techniques are described and discussed, and 

guidelines have been established for medical indications. Special attention is paid to 

good patient selection, complications and risks.

We have invited renowned specialists from all continents to share their valued 

expertise and experience. We will never be able to thank every single person or 

institution who helped in fulfilling our work. The difficult task of writing a 

comprehensive book about the status and science of the most desired and most 

practiced procedure in cosmetic surgery, in order to prevent dissatisfaction and 

misunderstandings, was marked with hard work and continuous improvements. It is a 

privilege to share our knowledge concerning contemporary advances in this area of 

medicine, and thus help people change and improve their lives. It is our greatest 

reward as well.
