Surgical implications of "fixed points": a new concept in plastic surgery

Y G Illouz. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 1989 Summer.

Abstract

The dynamic study of surface anatomy brings to light the existence of "fixed points." This new concept allows us to better understand the difficult problem of skin excess and the "crumpled" appearance sometimes seen after liposuction. Understanding this phenomenon will avoid unaesthetic or nonfunctional results of plastic surgery.
