摘要
A questionnaire was sent to 1339 consecutive patients who had undergone blunt suction lipectomy during the period between April 1984 and April 1987. Seventy-four percent replied, thus providing information about the results of 1929 procedures. The overall reported rate of satisfaction was 76 percent, with no significant difference between males and females. Highest satisfaction referred to pseudogynecomastia, submental area, iliac crest, and lower extremities on females. The rate of dissatisfaction was 6 percent. Dissatisfaction was associated most frequently with lipectomy of the buttocks. Underresection was reported for 30 percent and overresection for 2.2 percent of the procedures. The latter, in particular, seemed to lead to dissatisfied patients. Asymmetry was reported for 19 percent of the procedures. Recurrence (''return'') of fatty tissue was reported for 29 percent at the resection site. Thirty percent of the patients reported compensatory increase (''came back elsewhere'') in fat deposits in nontreated locations. Self-reported weight gain was found to be a significant risk factor for both types of ''regrowth.'' Irregularities were the most frequently reported permanent changes to skin. There were twice as many negative as positive changes to skin. Most of the patients had benefited personally from the surgery and were willing to consider undergoing lipoplasty again. All in all, the long-term results of blunt suction lipectomy are satisfactory.
