There is an article about liposuction that states that there are "five zones of adherence that should be avoided to prevent contour deformities in the central trunk area when performing circum- ferential liposuction." Can a doctor explain this in simple terms? What should be avoided? Examples?

Answer: Zones of adherence
I agree with Dr. Commons. Zones of adherence are names area of little to no fat deposit that so to speak keep things in place. They are areas to avoid aggressive liposuction ( because there is really very little fat there).

Answer: Adherance Zones in Liposuction and their Meaning.
Yes this has been discussed and I think it is fun info with minimal clinical implication. A nice laboratory bit of additional consfusion. Go stand in fron of a mirror and study your back and trunk and stomach. Note in the back there are horizontal-daigonal zones that appear deeper than other surrounding areas particularly around the back rolls. 2 or 3 on each side. In front on your abdomen note the transverse line above you umbilicus. The surgeon needs to register these but any surgeon worth their salt can get about this and get a great result. I have done so many lipos that I dont even ponder these although I am aware. The back zones used to be difficult but with Vaser Ultrasonic Liposuction the Back Rolls are easy and any zones are meaningless. On the abdomen the transverse zone in some people is pronounced and the sulgeon need to be aware but this is easily delt with. Go to a surgeon that does a lot of liposuction and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and A Fellow....FACS....indicating a real surgon recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialists and not a pretend surgon certified by self proclimation. Shop carefully. It is a mine field out there. Good Luck.
