Abstract:
We read with great interest the recent "Lymphatic-Sparing Approaches and Liposuction Integration in Upper Body Lift Surgery" by Bruno (Aesth Plast Surg 2025, 10.1007/s00266-025-05369-8). This Letter to the Editor concerns the article "Lateral Tension Upper Body Lift: Zip-Shark Technique as a Surgical Procedure in Body Contouring after Massive Weight Loss" by Sharkov et al. (Aesthetic Plast Surg. 2025. 10.1007/s00266-025-05233-9) and Sharkov et al. (Body contouring surgery-the role of non-invasive, minimal invasive and surgical technologies, Springer, Heidelberg, 2023), and we commend the author for their detailed description on additional possibilities to further improve the results and reduce the possible side effects of our work.
