"The Superficial Fascia System: Anatomical Guideline for Zoning in Liposuction-Assisted Back Contouring."

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dorsal contour deformity presents with different manifestations in each part of the back, such as back rolls, iliac crest deposit, and buffalo hump. However, scant current literature exists on the anatomical basis of dorsal contour deformity. The aim of this study is to better understand the anatomical characteristics of the back, in order to propose evidence-based zoning principles for liposuction-assisted back contouring.

Method

A total of 12 fresh cadavers were dissected for observation of each hierarchy in the vertical order (skin-to-deep fascia) and transverse comparison of the superficial fascial system (SFS) in the scapular-infrascapular-lumbar triangle region. Full-dorsum vectorial sections were used for the study of suprascapular fat deposits.
