Abstract

The author considers the circumstances in which it is more beneficial to use ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) rather than traditional suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL). He contends that the absolute benefit of UAL compared with SAL is the ability of the ultrasound to lyse fibrous tissue and fat.
