Objectives: At the end of this presentation you will be able to
1- make a precise assessment of body areas
2- select best candidates for off face non invasive treatments
3- determine the boundaries between non invasive and plastic surgery candidates
4- distinguish between selection of pateints for technologies and/ or biostimulators
5 - Obtain skin laxity scales for any area of the body
Introduction: Physicians are introduced every year to options for non invasive body treatments to improve contour , laxity and cellulitis, however there’s a difficult to select the right patient for each indication. As we’ve been learning how toperform a good facial assessment, also In body areas , outcomes are directly linked to a good and predictable assessment.
Materials / method: We developed a standardized, reproductively, didactic scale for body assessment based in tissue layers and systemic status that can influence the treatments.
Results: The BODY ASSESSMENT flow is based in 4 pillars that will be fully discussed
1- Status Muscular - Morphotypes
2- Skin Quality - Degree of laxity
3- Subcutaneous Component in target area
4- Systemic Status - Nutritional and Hormonal considerations
Conclusion: Body Assessment Scale is a predictable, reproductive, standardized and practical way of evaluating body areas prone to treatments.
