Liposuction Cosmetic Surgery

Conclusions  Atypical presentations of gynecomastia are often not recognized, with little attention to breast development in prepubertal
non-obese children. Since prepubertal gynecomastia could be a sign of possible underlying diseases, a thorough examination
and further research is recommended. If there is no causal treatment, surgical resection is the therapy of first choice. Peripheral
liposuction and surgical resection of the gland tissue are the mainstay of treatment. In summary, we describe two cases of
prepubertal unilateral gynecomastia with a normal endocrine workup. Further research is needed to establish the pathophysiologic
mechanisms of prepubertal gynecomastia, since underlying etiology in most cases remains unclear.

Launois-Bensaude syndrome is a rare pathology. The presence of multiple, symetric, non encapsulated lipomatous masses in the face, neck, upper arms and upper trunk is typical. Men are especially affected between age of 35 and 50. The disease is frequently associated with alcoholism, hepatopathy, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia, and malignant tumors of the upper airways, requiring thorough clinical evaluation of all patients. Cosmetic deformity and compression lead patients to seek treatment. Therapy is difficult. Dietary treatment and weight loss are of limited value in the management of this pathology. Surgery is the only effective treatment. The surgeon must make sure that the patient has ceased his alcohol abuse before… Source: MedWorm: Liposuction

CONCLUSION: Fat transfer alone can efficiently restore breast volume after mastectomy, granting all advantages related with autologous reconstruction. No donor site morbidity is present; in fact some secondary benefits are observed thanks to the correction of eventual disgraceful lipodystrophies. These secondary benefits strengthen patient compliance improving iterative procedures tolerance. Lack of available adipose tissue and high breast volume are the major morphological limits of the technique. In our experience, fat transfer appears to be a promising technique for breast reconstruction. Long term results still have to be evaluated before it can become a standard.

We read the recent article ‘Improvised fat transferer and cannula for cases of unexpected fat grafting needs during liposuction’ and agree with the authors that using a 14 gauge cannula and its needle is a simple and ingenious method for syringe to syringe fat transfer when Coleman technique is required.

NO SURGICAL procedure is 100 per cent safe, but liposuction has been used for many years now and there is a strong record of safety. (Source: Scotsman.com News – Health) Source: MedWorm: Liposuction

Many surgeons consider liposuction using tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) to be a safe technique, but when TLA has been combined with other techniques, such as general anesthesia or intravenous medication, or when the guidelines associated with TLA have been violated, serious complications and deaths have occurred. This has resulted in uncertainty concerning the safety of liposuction using TLA, which this article seeks to resolve. To investigate whether liposuction using TLA is a safe procedure. The same surgeon performed liposuction using exclusively TLA in 3,240 procedures. Detailed records were kept of the complications that occurred. In a series of 3,240 procedures, no deaths occurred, and no complications requiring hospitalization were experienced. In nine cases, complications develop… Source: MedWorm: Liposuction
