Complete Tumescent Solution

Prevent Liposuction Defects The Thigh Midine™ and the Thigh Aside™ are surgical pillows that optimize the position of a patient's thighs during liposuction and thus contribute to smoother postoperative results. The Midine and the Aside, designed by Jeffrey Klein, MD, inventor of the tumescent technique, are manufactured Awkward positioning of the patient during liposuction increases the risk of cosmetically unsightly liposuction defects. Even the most proficient liposuction surgeons must continuously strive to avoid causing liposuction- related irregularities of the skin. The risk of such irregularities...

Trochanteric Pseudobulqe Of all areas treated by liposuction, the lateral thigh is probably the most vulnerable to poor intraoperative positioning. Inward adduction of the thigh causes the greater trochanter to protrude outward, elevating and distorting the overlying fat, and creating a "pseudobulge." The greater the degree of thigh adduction, the greater the size of the pseudobulge. The pseudobulge is maximal in the lateral decubitus position, when the upper most thigh is flexed forward and adducted across the midine with the knee lying across the opposite thigh. encourages excessive Figure...

Thigh Lipowarp A lipowarp of the lateral thigh is more subtle than the trochanteric pseudobulge. It is a topological distortion of the thigh's subcutaneous fat compartments caused by a deviation from the anatomic position. Flexion, extension, or rotation of the hip changes the shape and proportions of the subcutaneous fat of the lateral thigh. Similarly, lying supine or prone compresses the subcutaneous fat of the lateral thigh in the anterior posterior direction, while causing it to protrude laterally. A clinically important form of a thigh lipowarp occurs with simple anterior flexion of the...
