Operative principles for optimizing results in circumferential body contouring with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty.
The optimization of results in body contouring requires simultaneous visualization of all body regions. This goal is achieved through a circumferential and balanced surgical approach.

The anatomic differences between men and women, patient selection, markings, access incisions, and technique must all be addressed.
