The solid-probe technique in ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty

The solid-probe ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technique is a predictable method for obtaining optimal results in body contouring for select patients. Patients with inelastic skin, cellulite, skin laxity, and those undergoing secondary contouring procedures are ideal candidates for the solid-probe technique. The solid probe is thought to be a more efficient fat emulsification device because it imparts more focal ultrasonic energy per amplitude than hollow probes.
