Suction-assisted lipectomy, or liposuction, is a popular cosmetic surgery for removing localized fat deposits to improve body contour. This review assesses current liposuction technologies for plastic surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Suction-assisted lipectomy, also known as liposuction, has been a popular aesthetic plastic surgery procedure for over 30 years.
  • Liposuction effectively targets localized subcutaneous adipose deposits, improving body contour in patients without generalized obesity.
  • The procedure involves using a cannula and suction source to remove fat through small incisions, enhancing physique balance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of current liposuction technologies available to plastic surgeons.
  • To assess the evolution and advancements in liposuction techniques.
  • To inform surgeons about various technological options for fat removal.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current liposuction technologies including suction-assisted lipectomy, ultrasound-assisted, power-assisted, laser-assisted, and radiofrequency-assisted.
