Comparison of Blood Loss in Suction-Assisted Lipoplasty and Third-Generation Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty

Invited Discussion on: Post-Operative Complications and Patient Satisfaction After Abdominal Etching—Prospective Case Series of 25 Patients

“…For this reason, recent research has focused on liposuction safety and lasting results. Some studies have detailed the most common complications associated with VASER-assisted liposculpture compared to standard liposuction; a clear difference in safety has pointed to the use of ultrasound in order to lower the risk of ischemia and necrosis over the superficial skin flap, as well as less bleeding [5], less trauma, and consequently faster recovery [6].…”
