COURSE OBJECTIVES

Body contouring aims at modifying the shape of different areas of the body after massive weight loss. It refers to a series of procedures to reduce the excess of sagging skin and fat in previously obese patients. Live surgery includes brachioplasty, whereas video demonstrations will show inner and horizontal thigh lift, buttocks horizontal lift, abdominoplasty and circumferential body contouring. Respecting the lymphatics, avoiding undermining, allowing liposuction if requested, closing any dead space and approximating the  margins  without tension, represent key points in achieving good outcomes and successful wound healing. It is essential to minimize blood loss. For this epinephrine injection (2mg/lt) along the incision lines is indicated. Dr. Le Louarn will emphasize the importance of safety in the management of these patients.
