The Superficial Fascia System: Anatomical Guideline for Zoning in Liposuction-Assisted Back Contouring
Read the guideline
Abstract
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 was to better understand the anatomical characteristics of the back, and to propose evidence-based zoning principles for liposuction-assisted back contouring.
