Body Contouring Flashcards
most of the complications after body contouring surgery are minor and managed as an outpatient basis.
T
Massive weight Joss (MWL), commonly defined as a loss of greater than 50% of excess weight above ideal body weight (IBW),
T
MWL patients have an almost three-fold increased risk of wound healing complications compared to non-MWL patients
T
Body contouring procedures are not strictly for weight reduction.
T
Liposuction should not be offered as a treatment for global obesity or cellulite,
T
liposuction and abdominoplasty have a higher incidence of venous thrombotic complications
T
At minimum, patients undergoing liposuction should have pneumatic compression stockings
T
Wetting solutions can be a variable composition but usually include saline only
F. Wetting solutions can be a variable composition but usually include saline or lactated Ringer’s,
SAL is more labor-intensive and does not perform as well on
areas with fibrous fat
T
PAL can break up fibrous fat more readily, this modality can significantly cut down on physician fatigue
due to shorter procedure times and employing less physical labor
to use
T
The aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and incidences of long-term complications appear to be more related to technology
F The aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and incidences of long-term complications appear to be more related to technique and not technology
Maintenance IVF should be administered up to 5 L. Every 1 mL
of aspirate beyond 5 L should be replaced with 1mL
Maintenance IVF should be administered up to 5 L. Every 1 mL
of aspirate beyond 5 L should be replaced with 0.25 mL
medial antebrachial nerve pierces the fascia of the arm approximately
14 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle
T
female aesthetic having an hourglass figure defined by the flanks and a
slight supraumbilical concavity and infraumbilical convexity
T
No role of liposuction in linear patient F T
F In a leaner patient, improved body contour can be achieved with
high definition liposuction or etching
time for compression garments to waer poet lipsuction for a duration of. 10 weeks.
F. compression garments most advocate a duration of2 to 4 weeks.
Contour irregularities: this is the most common postoperative complication and can occur in up to 20% of patients.
T
major blood supply to the abdomen is from zone 2
major blood supply to the abdomen is from zone I
Following abdominoplasty, zone I blood supply is lost and the abdominoplasty flap is predominantly supplied via zone III
T
abdominoplasty will remove stria located inferior to the umbilicus but those located supraumbilically may be made worse by the procedure
T
The lower excision should be at least 5 to 7 cm above the vulvar commissure and should be with any cesarean scar if possible
F The lower excision should be at least 5 to 7 cm above the vulvar commissure and should be below any cesarean scar if possible
abdominoplasty is the procedure with the highest frequency of death due to pulmonary embolism (PE)
T
dog-ears can be problematic because of the shorter incision in miniabdominopalsty
T
In fluer de lis abdominoplasty. undermine to the degree necessary for skin resection.
T
In fluer delis The addition of liposuction to the lateral abdomen will decrease the risk of vascular compromise
T
Lipoabdominoplasty Liposuctioning of the undermined regions of the flap can be done safely
F. Liposuctioning of the undermined regions of the flap could result in skin flap necrosis
