Abstract Ever since I was a resident at Prof. Pitanguy’s clinic, I used to often hear
Pitanguy say the terms body-contouring surgery and facial-contouring surgery. Those expressions were related to combined procedures improving body and facial contours, respectively. These new concepts impressed me so much that at the begin­ning of my career, I became motivated to organize the Brazilian Symposium of Abdominoplasty and the Brazilian Symposium on Facial Contouring, at which Prof. Pitanguy delivered a lecture and wrote a remarkable chapter about it. In fact, the associated operations were frequently performed during the period of my training under excellent team organization in the operating room and with outstanding surgi­cal results, greatly improving body and facial contouring.
Such operations were performed daily at his clinic according to Pitanguy’s tech­nique, on thighs, buttocks, and the trochanteric lipodystrophy regions. His memo­rable approach opened up a new era for body surgery in that it became possible to remove redundant skin and localized adiposities, which used to be removed through vertical incisions on the lateral and inner aspect of the thigh.
During my residency, people, both female and male, had constant demands for their physical appearance, as they still do today. In addition to food administration, diet, and physical activities, surgery is used to eliminate the signs of obesity and actual obesity to achieve desirable physical appearances. During the last decade, obesity has been replaced by people looking to reshape their bodies after weight loss, which is an important eld with a large number of patients.
Thanks to the liposuction technique introduced by Illouz, it became possible to remove excess localized adiposity without redundant skin, leaving only inconspicu­ous scars. The accumulation of adipose tissue on abdominal walls presenting with excess cutaneous tissue was not treated. So far, a combination of liposuction with conventional abdominoplasty has been able to improve body contouring by remov-

ing the accumulation of fat through the new approach. However, such a combined procedure has come with a very high incidence of complications, such as seroma formation, hematoma, slough from the panniculus, and others. Those undesirable situations occurred because the wide undermining of the abdominal panniculus used to be performed to remove the excess cutaneous covering. Those complica­tions seriously concern me and other plastic surgeons. After a very short period of time, I decided not to perform such a combined procedure of liposuction and resect­ing the redundant panniculus. Later, I dedicated to conduct research on my previous anatomic dissections and introduced new concepts for abdominoplasty without pan­niculus undermining while preserving the perforator vessels, which work as multi­ples pedicles, providing adequate blood supply to the remaining abdominal panniculus. A similar procedure may be employed for remodeling other regions to improve body contouring on areas such as the anks, torsos, medial thighs, arms, and axilla.

Introduction
New techniques for body-contouring surgery were introduced by Pitanguy (1964,
1977) for remodeling the abdominal wall, medial thigh, buttocks, and trochanteric
regions (Fig. 1.1). Such surgical techniques impressed me during my period of training at Prof. Pitanguy’s clinic (where I worked from 1970 to 1972). Currently, combined operations are still performed very often at his clinic under excellent team organization in the operating room, achieving outstanding surgical results in greatly improving body and facial contouring.
I used to often hear Pitanguy say the terms body-contouring surgery and facial- contouring surgery, which were related to the combined procedures for improving body and facial contouring. In addition to hearing those expressions, I also partici­pated in some scientic articles on these techniques. I had such expressions in mind that even at the beginning of my career, such as when I had some female patients presenting severe buttock deformities caused by infection after injection. They pre­sented very deep depressions, which were repaired by using mammary silastic pros­theses, achieving good surgical results (Fig.1.2) (Avelar 1974a, b, c). Notably, we didn’t have gluteal prostheses at the time, because they wouldn’t be developed until several years later. A paper on this subject was presented as my thesis for me to become a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.
Concerning the expression body contouring, I organized the Brazilian Symposium on Abdominoplasty and the Brazilian Symposium of Facial Contouring, at which Prof. Pitanguy delivered two brilliant lectures and about which he wrote two useful chapters (Pitanguy 1982, 1983). Moreover, he wrote a useful chapter concerning body contouring in our book Liposuction, featuring the fundaments and surgical principles concerning his new technique (Pitanguy 1986). Localized adipose tissue as an accumulation of fat on abdominal walls and on the lateral, posterior, and

medial aspects of the thighs and buttocks may damage the contouring of these regions, producing unaesthetic and inelegant appearances. Such abnormalities were described by Pitanguy (1964, 1977) as trochanteric lipodystrophy, or the “riding breeches” deformity. It could be repaired through his new techniques because those deformities used to be removed through vertical incisions on the lateral and inner aspect of the thigh (Farina etal. 1960).
In addition to the accumulation of adiposity, very often a depression is present on the posterior and lateral aspect of the buttocks (Fig.1.1). A similar accumulation of fat is quite frequently apparent on the inner side of the thighs, which may be accom­panied by the accidity of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Owing to this accumu­lation of localized adiposities, the buttocks may droop, caused by musculocutaneous accidity; secondary to aging, this droop may bring an even-more-unaesthetic appearance to the region. The original technique described by Pitanguy (1964,

1977) treated the localized adiposity along the lateral side of the thighs and cor-
rected the depression in the buttocks. Although extensive scars remained on the trochanteric and buttocks regions after surgery, it was possible to reshape the abnor­malities, which was an important development for body-contouring surgery (Pitanguy 1964, 1977) (Fig.1.1).
A few years later, Illouz (1980, 1983a, b, 1984) introduced and popularized the liposuction method, which was one of the most revolutionary procedures in plastic surgery in the twentieth century. Therefore, removing accumulations of fat, espe­cially on the abdominal walls and buttocks, became a much simpler procedure that resulted in only very small scars (Fig.1.3). However, quite often, there were evident redundancies of skin after liposuction on abdominal walls, which were real prob­lems and constant challenges. Such excesses of cutaneous covering, which bothered me and my patients, were solved through skin resection (Avelar 1985a, b, 1986), which became a new approach. Although such combined approaches did not bring any new sorts of complications, they came with very high incidences of seroma formation and other adverse situations. Because of such complications and after a very short period of time, I made the denitive decision to not perform those com­bined procedures anymore (Avelar 1988).
Aiming to solve those problems motived me to develop new techniques for abdominoplasty that may be used to remodel several other regions of the human body, as I described in my publications on my new technique for abdominoplasty (Avelar 1999a, b, c, d, e, 2000a, b) (Figs.1.4 and 1.5). Even for

patients who have undergone severe weight loss, this technique could be used to simultaneously treat several regions, achieving harmonious body contouring (Fig.1.6).
Technique
Each patient must undergo a full-body analysis in a standing position and in front of mirrors for them to be properly evaluated for adequate surgical treatment to improve their body contouring (Fig.1.7). As several regions may be in disharmony with the other segments of the body, there is no gold-standard procedure to employ. For these

In this drawing one can see that a patient in stand position in front of one vertical mirror she or he can observe in front view. When the patient looks at the superior mirror placed 45° she or he can see the posterior side as well as the whole body contouring
reasons, each patient must be treated according to their unique physical imperfec­tions when improving body contouring.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is one of the most frequently used procedures to improve body contouring, and it is performed either alone or in combination with other tech­niques (Figs.1.5 and 1.6). A combination of liposuction with abdominoplasty and without panniculus undermining has been introduced, achieving smooth surgical results and minimizing complications (Avelar 1999a, b, c, 2000a, b). In this modal- ity of lipoabdominoplasty, the umbilicus is transposed and a new umbilical area is created. The selection of patients before surgery is a fundamental step for the

surgeon to evaluate the possibility of removing all skin in suprapubic region, and the cutaneous area above the umbilicus may be pulled downward to be sutured to the inferior border of the surgical incision (Figs.1.4 and 1.6). Finally, abdomino­plasty may be performed according to the techniques designed by Callia (1965), Pitanguy (1967), Sinder (1975), or others, bringing considerable renements to aesthetic body contouring.
Reduction or Augmentation Via Mastoplasty
Large breasts or small breasts may cause unsatisfaction for female patients, motivat­ing them to undergo aesthetic procedures to reshape their body’s silhouette (Fig.1.8). Each surgeon may follow their own techniques which are more used to performing in order to remodel of the body. Reduction mastoplasty, which is also used to improve the shape of the breasts, can provide harmony to all segments of the body (Fig.1.9).
