title: Combination of facial rejuvenation and lipoplasty of the torso.
abstract: Older women seeking facial rejuvenation often exhibit another sign of middle age--the accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the torso. In the author's practice a total body evaluation approach is used. It is often suggested that the patient combine facial rejuvenation with lipoplasty of the torso if the patient is a good surgical candidate and the procedures can be performed jointly in less than six hours. The advantages are many, including a single convalescent period, decreased costs, and very high patient satisfaction with the degree of makeover in one session.
