Ultrasonically assisted lipectomy in aesthetic breast surgery

G F Maillard, M Scheflan, R Bussien

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |July 1, 1997
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ultrasonically assisted lipectomy successfully treated breast asymmetry in a young patient, yielding excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes. Further research is needed to confirm the long-term safety and efficacy of this technique in female breast procedures.
