Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sizer for use in cosmetic surgery augmentation procedures, along with methods for using same.

Abstract: A hand-cranked centrifuge is adapted for use in isolating autologous fat in injectible from. A number of syringes are hingeably coupled to a flywheel of the centrifuge. As the centrifuge turns, the syringe(s), which are supported at one end, move into a horizontal orientation and are centrifuged until the fats get separated from other liquids present in the syringes. A number of syringes, syringe holders and related devices are disclosed to accommodate centrifugation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sizer for use in cosmetic surgery augmentation procedures, along with methods for using same. The sizer includes an inflatable shell that can be pressurized to assume a shape and size to guide an augmentation procedure, and then deflated for insertion to or removal from the surgical side. The sizer also includes a reinforcing mesh to prevent puncture of the inflatable shell during a surgical procedure.

Abstract: Volume filling and/or augmentation are improved by harvesting live dermis from a donor and processing the dermis for re-injection into the donor. A variety of kits, tools, and methods are described for harvesting, processing, and using injectable dermis in volume filling procedures.

Abstract: A rasping cannula uses a variety of cutting surfaces to augment fat and tissue extraction in cosmetic surgical procedures. In one aspect, a cannula may have a number of holes with curved cutting edges. In another aspect, the tip of a cannula may be curved. In this manner, lateral movement of the cannula excises tissue such as fat for faster, more effective removal.
