Spreadsheet for female patients. The first page has columns for each predefined aspiration and grafting region. The first line in each column, in gray, records the infiltrated volume in each region. Other lines (in white) record the aspirated and grafted volumes obtained with the intermediate device. The yellow line below each column is the total liposuction or grafting volume for each predefined region. Below and to the right, the total infiltrated, liposuctioned, and grafted volumes are calculated automatically. Below and to the left, the surgical times are recorded, including the start and end times of infiltration, aspiration, and definition liposuction. On the second page, developed to facilitate patient understanding, two female models, in front and back views, highlight the predefined aspiration and grafting regions and, next to them, the total volumes of each region at the corresponding levels. The total volumes (infiltration, aspiration, and grafting) are also at the bottom of this page.

System for accurate counting of aspirated volumes, with three parts: (A) catheter tip obtained from a urine collector, with its opening and closing valve; 50mL syringe with catheter tip, graduated in milliliters, without the plunger (discarded); stainless-steel part with two outlets to connect liposuction hoses: one for liposuction and the other for exhaust. (B) Connected parts ready for use. (C) System in use, with fat in the syringe, before disposal.
