Preface

Liposuction is the first cosmetic procedure to change beutification surgery from open
extensive excision surgery into a more atraumatic closed one. It gave rise to the
modern understanding of minimally scarring and minimally invasive surgery and
changed the understanding and preferences of both patients and doctors. It also
became the most common procedure in cosmetic surgery world-wide, practiced by an
increased number of physicians from various specialties. The techniques of fat
grafting, closely bound with liposuction, have found widespread application and fat
stem cells seem to be changing the future of many areas in medicine.
Training became necessary in view of the constantly changing and developing
character of medical science, and because of the progress in new devices emerging on
the market.
Turning the pages, the reader will find a lot of information about advances, tips and
tricks, and important milestones in the development of the different methods
available, such as classic, power, ultrasound, laser and radio-frequency assisted
liposuction etc. Most useful anesthesia techniques are described and discussed, and
guidelines have been established for medical indications. Special attention is paid to
good patient selection, complications and risks.
We have invited renowned specialists from all continents to share their valued
expertise and experience. We will never be able to thank every single person or
institution who helped in fulfilling our work. The difficult task of writing a
comprehensive book about the status and science of the most desired and most
practiced procedure in cosmetic surgery, in order to prevent dissatisfaction and
misunderstandings, was marked with hard work and continuous improvements. It is a
privilege to share our knowledge concerning contemporary advances in this area of
medicine, and thus help people change and improve their lives. It is our greatest
reward as well.
