Liposuction is the most commonly performed aesthetic
surgery procedure in the world. Despite its popularity, the effectiveness
of this procedure has been limited in those fibrous areas of the
body such as the back, flank, and breasts (in cases of gynecomastia).
Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) permits the selective removal
of adipose tissue using ultrasonic energy as an airbrush to sculpt
fat with less trauma and enhanced artistry. It is the ideal complement
to standard liposuction and a means of optimizing results for
a broad spectrum of patients. This technique has captured the
imagination of aesthetic surgeons and their patients around the
world.
Some of the benefits of UAL include:
- Higher effectiveness in areas where fat is
fibrous and difficult to remove by traditional liposuction and
for large-volume liposuction
- Less surgeon fatigue, allowing the surgeon to focus on true
sculpting in body contouring
- Less tissue trauma because less force is needed to push the
cannula through tissue
The authors have taken an anatomic approach
to UAL, covering the special needs of each target area. This comprehensive
book/video combo takes you through UAL step-by-step, including
the basics of getting started and the setup of instrumentation
and equipment. The large number of illustrations in the book and
the high-quality video demonstrations make it easy to follow the
procedures closely. Special focus is given to safety and unusual
situations.
UAL is a great way to gain incremental income from your practice
and to stay competitive. No aesthetic surgeon should be without
this valuable book and videotape.
