Key elements of the procedure are buttock lifting combined with auto-augmentation, no undermining of auto-augmentation tissue, and use of a purse-string suture to enhance projection of auto-augmentation tissue. Purse-string gluteoplasty is a safe and effective technique to correct buttock ptosis and atrophy.

Compare TLL to suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) to determine which device is more efficient for surgeons and provides better recovery for patients. Thirty-one adult female patients were followed prospectively in a contralateral study design comparing differences in bruising, swelling, tenderness, and incision appearance ratings between TLL and SAL procedures. Surgical efficiency and appearance of the lipoaspirate were also compared. All 31 patients successfully completed the study. For TLL and SAL procedures, the average volume of infusion (1.242 vs 1.276 L) and aspirated supernatant fat (704 vs 649 mL) was statistically similar. TLL median fat extraction rate was faster than SAL (35.6 vs 25 cc/min; P < 0.0001), and stroke rate was reduced in TLL vs SAL procedures (48 vs 120 strokes/min; P < 0.0001), and both were statist...

Using circumferential liposuction techniques, in association with the tumescent technique, and circumferential excisional procedures, this patient population can achieve significant body transformation with acceptably low morbidity. The concept of addressing obese patients in a circumferential fashion, whether using liposuction, excisional therapy, or commonly the combination of both, can more accurately address the significant deformities and achieve more consistent improvement for these patients. Aggressive body contouring procedures can be performed safely with a low morbidity rate and a very high degree of patient satisfaction.

The authors compare absorbable barbed sutures (V-Loc, Covidien, Mansfield, Massachusetts) with conventional (smooth) absorbable sutures for soft tissue approximation. A prospective multicenter randomized study comparing barbed sutures with smooth sutures was undertaken between August 13, 2009, and January 31, 2010, in 241 patients undergoing abdominoplasty, mastopexy, and reduction mammaplasty. Each patient received barbed sutures on 1 side of the body, with deep dermal sutures eliminated or reduced. Smooth sutures with deep dermal and subcuticular closure were used on the other side as a control. The primary endpoint was dermal closure time. Safety was assessed through adverse event reporting through a 12-week follow-up. A total of 229 patients were ultimately treated (115 with slow-absorbing polymer and 114 with rapid-absorbing polymer). Mean dermal closure time was significantly quicker ...
