To introduce and evaluate a body contouring method utilizing subcutaneous lipolytic tunneling to achieve skin contraction without extensive surgical excisions.
Utilized a liposuction technique designed to create multiple subcutaneous tunnels beneath the target area.
Relied on subsequent homogeneous contraction of the overlying skin to adapt to the reduced underlying volume without extensive tissue resection.
Achieved successful correction of contour deformities through controlled subcutaneous fat reduction.
Eliminated the requirement for extensive surgical undermining and skin resection.
Obtained aesthetic body contour adjustments with minimal scar formation.
