Lower Body Circumferential Contouring: How to Pick the Right Operation | Global Partners Webinar

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this ASPS Global Partners webinar, Dr. Ashley Amalfi, a board-certified plastic surgeon from Rochester, New York, moderates discussions on lower body circumferential contouring. Featured speakers include Dr. Jeff Gusanoff, Dr. Jennifer Kapla, and Dr. Ahmed Afifi, who are experts in their field. Dr. Gusanoff discusses the intricacies of body lifts, highlighting the challenges of saddlebags and gluteal elongation, advocating for a tailored approach based on body types and expectations. He emphasizes meticulous planning to prevent complications such as gluteal cleft elongation and wound healing issues often associated with auto-augmentation procedures. Dr. Afifi, however, suggests avoiding auto-augmentation altogether to reduce the risk of seromas and complications, opting for selective use based on patient needs. He also introduces the oblique flank plasty as a viable alternative, particularly effective when the primary concern is waist and flank bulges. All panelists agree on the importance of patient management, appropriate surgical settings, and perioperative care, including nutritional supplements and DVT prophylaxis. The session emphasizes the need for careful preoperative planning and individualized patient care to optimize outcomes in body contouring surgeries.
