They "Wrote the Book" on Liposuction and Body Contouring, Well, The Chapter
Los Angeles, CA, September 26, 2005 - In a new textbook on plastic surgery, Los Angeles-based Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker collaborated with Dr. Gerald Pitman to write the chapter on liposuction, tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and buttocks lifts to help set the gold standard of practice for plastic surgeons and residents worldwide.
Chapter 55, entitled "Liposuction and Body Contouring," will appear in the textbook entitled, Current Therapy In Plastic Surgery. The authors emphasize that liposuction, the single most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure, plays a major role in our society. In the chapter they describe the state-of-the-art techniques for liposuction and excisional body lift, including abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), thigh lift, and buttocks lift. The authors describe criteria for determining which patients are the best candidates for these procedures.
The chapter provides important information on the tumescent method and power-assisted liposuction, which provide the highest level of safety. The authors offer guidance on post-operative care and the avoidance of complications. For further information or to order the book, please visit the Elsevier website.
Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker are Southern California, board-certified plastic surgeons practicing at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates in Marina del Rey and Palos Verdes. Both surgeons are recognized leaders in cosmetic surgery, and are pioneers of techniques for liposuction and body contouring.
