Lipoplastics of legs: our experience with a new cannula compared with classical technique

The Authors compare the results obtained between two groups of patients suffering from leg lipodystrophy, who were subjected to a reducing lipoplasty. In the first group, surgeons made use of a new sort of cannula, deprived of the classical grip, whereas in the second group, they employed the traditional probe. The best results, achieved with the first group, prove this new operating system is really effective, particularly on legs, for the following reasons: (1) Higher precision and better control of the instrument (2) Swan-neck cannula abolition (3) Opportunity to operate with both hands (4) Halved operating time (5) No tiredness after the operation.
