Dr. Nikolay Serdev is a world authority in Ultrasound-assisted liposculpturing and VASER body contouring and has trained doctors from around the world in its basic and advanced techniques. The scarless Serdev Suture® lifting methods is used in all parts of the face and some of the body to correct early ptosis and flabbiness of the tissue. Dr. Serdev’s suture techniques are internationally recognised and are known as short downtime procedures. Serdev Sutures® for lifting and/or volumising undertaken on the face include, amongst others: temporal, supra-temporal, mid-face, and lower SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) lifts; brow lift; chin and cheekbone enhancement without implants; nose tip and alar refinement; ear correction. Scarless Serdev Suture procedures on other body areas include, amongst others: buttock lift; breast lift; inner thigh lift. In early ptosis these non-scarring elastic suture methods are an alternative to classic excision facelifts and body part dermolipectomies. Dr. Serdev divides his time between his clinic, the New Bulgarian University in Sofia and short travels for hands-on courses in countries of all continents. Dr. Nikolay Serdev authored many publications in surgery, plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery and medicine, original papers in leading medical journals, book chapters and has been appointed book editor.

Over the past decades, surgical techniques have greatly progressed to improve and correct appearance.

They are artistic procedures to give the highly demanded proportions. The growing public interest in aesthetic and plastic surgery interventions such as body contouring and sculpting requires clear description and differentiation of these highly sophisticated techniques, their results and combinations, as well as scientific information about the different instrumentation, devices and materials used.

Such clarification will be hugely beneficial both for patients and doctors, having in mind the increasing number of such interventions and progressing interest for a better and healthy living including improved appearance in society.

The book adds some scientific news to the understanding of body contouring treatments. Currently, the request for atraumatic, short downtime procedures predominates and demonstrates the importance of hi-tech and safe liposculpture and fat transfer, although they cannot totally replace surgical excision methods.
