Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The arms represent a challenge in body contouring surgery. Deformities of the upper arms vary in presentation from minor defects to extensive skin excesses. When skin elasticity is good and fatty deposits limited, traditional forms of liposuction may be utilized. In the massive weight loss patient, the deformity often encountered is that of extensive excess skin, which will be the subject of discussion in this chapter.

Keywords:

Brachioplasty, liposuction, bicipital groove.
