RESUMO
The authors report their experience in using ultrasound-assited liposuction in 348 patients in the period between October 1998 and July 2001. The application of ultrasound brought additional benefits to results, such as improved skin accomodation and the treatment of difficult cases, such as, gynecomasty, dorsum and secondary liposuction. The technique was perfomed in three stages- super-wet infiltration (1.35-1), followed by ultrasound-assisted liposuction and conventional liposuction. The equipment used was a Lisonix 2000generator at the setting of 5, that is, 50 (per cent) of the device's power, which proved to be the setting that causes the least secondary effects, such as tissue fibrosis and seroma. This study also considers the history of ultrasound-assisted liposuction and focuses on the physical aspects of ultrasound, with a review of the literature on the use of the ultrasound technique.
