Abstract : The anatomical literature has documented the organization of body fat with increasing precision. It is now understood that adipose tissue is not a homogeneous layer but a collection of distinct compartments separated by fibrous structures known as interseptum (1). This compartmental design helps explain the varied behavior of different regions when affected by aging, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations. Body adipostructuration arises from this anatomical insight. It is a technique designed to reorganize fat compartments according to their own physiology and mechanical behavior, without removing or destroying them. Depending on the active agent used, the technique may rely on a single compound per pannicle (simple) or several (compound). The scope of treatment may cover the entire body, selected regions, or very specific areas. In this study, a standardized protocol was applied to 15 patients. All of them recognized that localized fat deposits and structural alterations influenced their body appearance, a perception supported by clinical evaluation. After completing the treatment, every patient reported satisfaction with the outcome, particularly regarding contour definition and overall silhouette balance.
