title: Liposuction of the abdomen. An analysis of form.
abstract: This article presupposes that the surgeon has complete command of the process or craft of liposuction. This consideration of form does not presume to issue a commentary upon the ultimate fitness of the form; rather, form confines itself with shape. The final question that matters is, "has the surgeon used the craft to successfully alter the three-dimensional mass into an aesthetically pleasing end."
