title: Aesthetic plastic surgery of the upper and lower limbs.
abstract: A single surgical approach is proposed for correction of lipodystrophy of the upper and lower limbs, coexisting deformities, and other conditions affecting these areas. The procedure has great versatility, and results are satisfactory. The inevitability of noticeable scars, however, still constitutes a problem, mandating careful evaluation of the indications and a very realistic doctor-patient relationship.
