Product Description

Liposuction is one of the most common procedures performed by board-certified plastic surgeons and is likely greatly underestimated, given underreporting of office procedures and the number of non–plastic surgeons performing these operations. With the ever-increasing popularity of liposuction, various methodologies and technology have been designed to make this task simpler and faster for the surgeon and hasten the recovery for the patient. In the past 10 years, over 50 devices or techniques have been released to assist, refine, or altogether replace liposuction. With the advent of these newer tools, a thorough Continuing Medical Education study was performed to review the available literature.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the types of tumescence available for liposuction.
  2. Explain the various modalities available for liposuction.
