title: Addressing difficult areas in body contouring with emphasis on combined tumescent and syringe techniques.
abstract: The combined use of the tumescent and syringe techniques is a logical choice in addressing difficult areas in body contouring.  Each technique complements the other.  The magnification of the deformity by the tumescent technique allows for a more uniform and accurate contour correction. The syringe technique provides precision and accuracy that further contribute to body contouring refinement.  The combined use of the tumescent and syringe techniques has allowed greater refinement and precision in achieving satisfactory body contouring and in minimizing complications associated with traditional techniques.
