Effects of Abdominoplasty on Intra-Abdominal Pressure and Pulmonary Function
Conclusions Based on the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that plicature of the rectus abdominis generates significant physiological changes, such as an increase in IAP and a decrease of P-Comp, which do not have a clinically relevant impact on healthy individuals. Measuring IAP with the modified technique and the assessment of pulmonary function using P-Comp are both reliable and provide a more accurate correlation with such physiologic changes.

Lessons Learned After 15 Years of Circumferential Bodylift Surgery
Circumferential bodylift is a powerful procedure for achieving dramatic and natural body contouring changes in the massive weight loss patient. The care of these patients has raised our awareness of several important issues including safety, nutritional status, skin quality, recurrent laxity, surgical steps, and postoperative scars. Integration of this knowledge with various technical modifications over the last 15 years has improved our care for this cohort. We have not only seen a rise in the number of surgeries performed, but also the development of principles, techniques, and details that the authors feel necessary to ...

Simplified Muscle-Suspension Lower Blepharoplasty by Orbicularis Hitch
Conclusions Lower blepharoplasty by orbicularis hitch provides the benefits of muscle suspension by way of a simple, single-suture elevation of descended muscle, without the need for significant myotomy or lateral canthal manipulation. Despite its limited surgical invasiveness, it has proven both safe and effective in reversing muscle descent with skin redundancy, while maintaining lid support and lateral canthal integrity.

Micro-Shuttle Lifting of the Neck: A Percutaneous Loop Suspension Method Using a Novel Double-Ended Needle
Conclusions The sustainability of this percutaneous procedure does not rely on the suspensions, but rather on the skin redraping in the new position in a similar manner to orthopedic fracture treatment. In selected patients, this safe and simple percutaneous necklifting method can be quickly and easily performed under local anesthesia with long-term durability, low morbidity, and a high patient satisfaction rate.
