Abstract
Liposuction is the most popular method of body contouring, and constitutes a major part of reconstructive and cosmetic-surgery procedures performed today. New methods have been developed to reduce the risk of discomfort and recovery time for patients, while increasing ease and efficiency for surgeons. These advances are in response to the increased demand for the procedure. The application of RF/microwave-aided liposuction (MAL) may reduce some problems associated with standard mechanical liposuction, specifically removing fibrous tissues or secondarily scarred tissues and thus reducing perioperative bleeding. Preliminary results of ex-vivo studies using surgically excised human fat tissue utilizing an RF /MAL system have shown encouraging results.
