The Fourth-Generation Lower Body Lift: Combining Techniques and Technologies for Improved Outcomes in High-Demand Female Patients.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to describe the outcomes and complications in patients with moderate to severe skin laxity who underwent a comprehensive lower body lift (LBL) using multilayer liposculpture, abdominal wall volumization, skin retraction technologies and buttocks augmentation with implants or flaps.
methodsThis retrospective case series included ASA 1 or 2 patients with abdominal dermatochalasis, gluteal ptosis, and variable lipodystrophy. Patients were selected with a maximum BMI of 28 kg/m
resultsFrom 2021 to 2024, 32 female patients with an age range from 31 to 57 and an average BMI of 24.7 ± 2.7 Kg/m DISCUSSION: The study shows the feasibility and effectiveness of combining advanced techniques and technologies in LBL for patients with moderate to severe skin laxity. The integration of UAL, PAL, and HeRFAL technologies allowed for effective fat removal and tissue tightening, while RAFT and SPARTAN techniques enhanced abdominal wall. The YXZ technique provided tailored gluteal augmentation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
