Background:
Techniques designed to enhance body contour have significantly evolved, driven by advancements in technology that deliver highly effective results and also prioritize the safety and reliability of these procedures.
Methods:
A comprehensive body contouring protocol was developed using combined body liposuction, intramuscular ultrasound-guided fat grafting (UGRAFT), minimally invasive liposuction and abdominoplasty, and ultrasound-assisted rib remodeling. This protocol was tailored to each patient's needs. Following a 12-month follow-up period, a satisfaction survey assessed outcomes and patient experiences.
Results:
We recruited 125 patients between the ages of 27 and 39 years, who were subjected to the full-body contouring protocol between 2023 and 2024. During follow-up, no major complications occurred (thromboembolisms, infections, or death). At the end of the follow-up, a BODY-Q survey was carried out about the degree of postsurgical satisfaction. A high degree of satisfaction was observed, especially for abdominal aesthetics and laxity.
Conclusions:
Minimally invasive full-body remodeling is a set of surgical procedures aimed at improving body contour. In our experience, it achieved great satisfaction, is replicable, and ensured safe, improved aesthetics.
