[Liposuction].

Through the appropriate use of tumescent anesthesia and the use of modern instruments and techniques, liposuction surgery has become a low-risk procedure which produces predictable and aesthetically pleasing results. New indications for liposuction surgery include lipedema and cellulite. Vibration-assisted liposuction has proven to be especially gentle to the tissues. The induced tissue contraction helps to create better results in correction procedures after less-than-satisfactory liposuction. Autologous fat transfer is also firmly established as an augmentation procedure. In liporecycling, the fat obtained during reduction liposuction is used elsewhere for augmentation. New approaches in fat transfer include the microdroplet technique, flatter injection approaches and three-dimensional tissue augmentation.

[LipoRepair. Approach to correction of fat tissue deformities].

The increasing number of liposuction procedures has led to a growing number of iatrogenic fat tissue deformities, in addition to those of idiopathic, traumatic and disease-related nature. Correspondly the need for corrective procdures has incraesed. In recent years a number of methods have been developed with are minimally invasive and low-risk. LipoRepair is a treatment concept which combines several of these minimally invasive procedures in order to maximize results with maximum tissue sparing. LipoRepair is also suited to treat other fat tissue deformities. The following procedures can be employed alone or in combination: vibration-assisted liposuction, lipotransfer/liporecycling, liposhifting/ internal lipomobilization, repeated hydrodissection training subcutaneous tissue and subcision.

Tumescent liposuction in Germany: history and new trends and techniques.

Due to the developments and changes of tumescent solution, infiltration technique, and cannulas, we perform tumescent liposuction today using up to 6-8 l tumescent solution. Total aspirate measures up to 9 l, pure fat aspired up to 5 l. Tumescent liposuction of extended areas can still be done as an outpatient procedure. The condition of patients intra- and postoperatively as well as results has improved and the predictability of outcome is more certain.
