Comparative Analysis of Blood Loss in Suction-Assisted Lipoplasty and Third-Generation Internal Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty

Abstract

We conclude that third-generation internal UAL should be considered for patients undergoing large-volume lipoplasty procedures or lipoplasty of tight, fibrous areas, such as the back and posterior flanks, where increased blood loss is expected.

Comparison of Harvest and Processing Techniques for Fat Grafting and Adipose Stem Cell Isolation

“…In particular, ultrasound-assisted lipoaspiration is an established and widely used technology in body contouring. 13 However, the retention of grafted fat extracted by ultrasound-assisted lipoaspiration, and the suitability of this technology for fat graft harvest, has been questioned. Although ultrasound-assisted lipoaspiration has been shown to preserve regenerative cell function, 14 the ability of fat harvested by ultrasound-assisted lipoaspiration to retain its volume when grafted in vivo has not been well established in a scientific model.…”

Safety Evaluation of Vaser® in Body Contouring Improvement Liposuction

“…It is important to point out that when performing techniques that pursue a better definition of the compartments than the surgical steps, in this context, they increase and simultaneously the precepts of basic safety such as the utilization of adequate probes, selection of pulsating or intermittent dispersion of energy, super humid superficial or deep infiltration, and lamellar aspiration with posterior areolar collection are fundamental ( Figure 11). Rohrich et al [17] pursued to evaluate the experience with the usage of ultrasonic devices in liposuction in which 114 consecutive patients were analyzed [13]. In their sample, five complications were found: one case of disestesia, that the author believes was the consequence of the excessively prolonged use of the device; three cases of abdominal seroma (which presented the need of aspiration and compression); and one case of thermal lesion in the cannula insertion site, probably in consequence of inappropriate technical conduction.…”

“…The larger the probe diameter, the larger amount of energy is dissipated. They possess formatting for all anatomic unities [17].…”

“…The tunable nature of the system allows almost all areas of the body to be treated in a safe and efficient way. Presently, VASER ® is considered the "gold standard" in high definition for body contouring [7][8][9][10].…”

High Definition Liposuction: A Challenge for a Perfect Body Contouring

“…Countries such as the United States report an estimate of 40% of the adult population suffer from this health problem. This spectrum of diseases is associated with high rates of mortality in comparison with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and violent deaths [9,10].…”
