Echo-guided Lower-back Sculpture and Volumization as a Complement to High-definition Liposuction (XPINE-FAT).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Knowledge about lower-back aesthetics is very limited, especially regarding surgical techniques that improve its appearance. Thus, this study aimed to describe a high-definition liposuction technique with intramuscular grafting of erector spinae muscles (longissimus).

Methods

A total of 15 female patients 25-48 years of age were recruited between November 2021 and January 2022, who underwent body contouring surgery and subsequently underwent a low-back lipodefinition and echo-guided intramuscular erector spinae (longissimus) fat graft to complement the procedure. As part of the study, measurements were performed before surgery and in the immediate postoperative period. The data were stored in a database and analyzed with the SPSS Version 25 statistical software.
