Abstract

The superficial technique of liposuction as recently introduced by Marco Gasparotti and others allows for improved contouring results in patients with loss of skin elasticity and with excess skin redundancy, and may allow for improved success in patients previously thought to be poor candidates for conventional deep suction-assisted lipectomy. The traditional Gasparotti technique can be described as the primary use of syringe liposuction, along with aspiration with beveledcannulae with endholes in a “multiple biopsy” technique, with specific contouring techniques and replacement ofautolo-gous fat for maximal contour improvement. Modifications in the superficialliposculpture technique can be afforded through greater use of the vacuum pump, through the use ofspatula cannulae, and through changes in specific contouring goals and techniques in keeping with the desires ofa North American patient profile.
