Main description:

This book has evolved from an earlier best-selling title, Body Contouring after Massive Weight Loss authored by Dr Aly. It provides clear, step-by-step instruction for performing body contouring procedures in each anatomic area. Comprehensive chapters are included on the range of contouring operations. Each procedure is liberally illustrated with medical art as well as numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images to demonstrate the technical nuances of these operations and the possible results that can be achieved. To complement this book, numerous operative videos are included, documenting the procedures in the book.
