Read the urgent safety advisory issued by the Multi-Society Task Force for Safety in Gluteal Fat Grafting for crucial information on the procedure.
The mortality rate from gluteal fat grafting is unacceptable. Despite efforts at defining “safety zones” and “angles” of cannula direction, the crux of the problem appears to be the depth of cannula penetration and not the angle of insertion nor the zone of the gluteus muscle injected.  Dynamic cadaver studies demonstrate that fat placed just beneath the gluteus maximus fascia will migrate deep to the sub muscular space with the potential for venous tear and pulmonary fat embolism. A call is hereby made for a halt to fat grafting beneath the fascia of the gluteus muscle.

Managing the mid-vault to obtain consistent excellent Dorsal Aesthetic Lines (DALs) in rhinoplasty is a very challenging procedure. This lecture provides you with the correct graduated approach to reshaping and restoring, as well as preserving the DALs in primary rhinoplasty, by advocating preservation of the upper lateral cartilages so one can use either a suture-only or spreader flaps and only use spreader grafts if needed.

In this video the MACS-lift is presented as the cornerstone of our current concept of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. It effectively and safely treats the aging of the lower half of the face and the upper neck in the majority of aging men and women. The addition of microfat grafting to treat the age-related centrofacial deflation adds to the power and longevity of the rejuvenation, and also allows treatment of non-age-related features such as the tear trough and the nasolabial fold. To treat the category of patients with a more demanding neck laxity, platysmal bands and submental fat deposition we can add a subplatysmal fat resection via a submental incision, and/or a posterior subplatysmal neck plasty with posterior platysma suspension. All of these techniques are included in detail in this video, together with some theoretical considerations.

Part 2 of 2. The postoperative contour deformity which can result following breast augmentation can be difficult surgical problems. Traditional approaches of capsulectomy and implant change are commonly followed by recurrent contour deformity. The ability to control the interface between implant and breast soft tissue with the use of acellular dermal matrix and autologous fat, which serves as a regenerative matrix, provides a surgical solution for the difficult reoperative breast augmentation patient. This lecture will focus on long term solutions for these difficult problems.

This primary rhinoplasty done via an open approach demonstrates the component dorsal reduction approach to rhinoplasty and it exemplifies the use and role of invisible grafts such as a columellar strut graft to reshape the nasal tip area. Non-destructive suture techniques are used to reshape and refine the nasal tip. Alar contour grafts are used to prevent long term alar rim collapse in the primary open rhinoplasty patient. All these techniques can be used in most primary rhinoplasty patients with excellent reproducible outcomes.

Lipoabdominoplasty represents a change of traditional concepts about undermining. It can be performed through limited undermining, by using a liposuction cannula to move the flap down.

Before this new concept, it wasn’t safe to perform lipoplasty and abdominoplasty at the same surgical time.

In this lecture we can see that now it is quite safe to perform them together and even get better results because this approach preserves almost all perforating vessels of the abdomen, branches of the deep epigastrics – superior and inferior ones.

Also it maintains all abdominal anatomic structures, including the Scarpa fascia, which has a fundamental importance to decrease the postoperative edema, because the lymphatic vessels are preserved.

Finally, it results in fewer complications and surgical revisions.

This patient had two pregnancies and two children. She presents a medium abdominal flaccidity, no stretch marks, central abdominal lipodistrophy and diastasis. She had breast augmentation prothesis that were changed at the same surgical time as lipoabdominoplasty.

This is a good case for professionals who are going to start using this technique.
