    Megaliposuction, a comprehensive body contouring technique, safely reshapes the entire body, achieving symmetrical proportions and predictable aesthetic outcomes for patients seeking significant body modification.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Medicine
    • Body Contouring

    Background:

    • Body reshaping has evolved significantly.
    • Total corporal contouring addresses multiple body areas simultaneously.
    • Megaliposuction offers a comprehensive approach to body modification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present long-term experience with total corporal contouring using megaliposuction.
    • To discuss the evolution of body reshaping in a single operative setting.
    • To emphasize patient evaluation, techniques, postoperative management, and results.

    Main Methods:

    • 120 consecutive patients underwent total corporal contouring with tumescent technique liposuction.
    • Preoperative evaluation focused on corporal shape and proportions.

  • No other open procedures were performed concurrently.

    • Main Results:

    • Average aspirated volume was 14,000 ml; no blood transfusions were needed.
    • Complications included hypopigmentation (N=2) and seromas (N=12).
    • Average follow-up was 14 months, with all patients showing improved body contours.

    Conclusions:

    • Megaliposuction can be safely performed for total corporal contouring.
    • The goal extends beyond fat reduction to achieving symmetrical body proportions.
    • Predictable aesthetic outcomes are achievable with this comprehensive approach.
