Perils and pearls of liposuction.

Facial and body liposuction has become a liposculpturing technique. As is usually the case, the more one performs a particular procedure, the more one realizes its difficulties, dangers, and challenges. The surgeon should never perform liposuction in a routine and casual manner. Such an approach can only lead to problems because each patient has different requirements. The goal of this chapter is to inspire the reading physician to approach each case as if it were the first one, i.e., with a great deal of prudence. This will lead to better results and fewer complications.
