ABSTRACT
Incorporation of new technologies to assist the liposuction procedure is becoming increasingly common. These technologies allow for a softer technique, balanced shaping, elimination of excess adipose tissue, and skin tightening. Some of these technologies include ultrasound (US; US-assisted liposculpture, VASER-assisted liposuction), power suction (power-assisted liposuction), radiofrequency (RF; RF-assisted lipolysis), and laser (laser-assisted liposuction). In addition, some of these devices have been shown to reduce the incidence of hematomas/inflammation and shorten recovery time. We report our experience in high-definition liposculpture of the arms in addition to new technologies to improve skin retraction, comparing their results in terms of complications, satisfaction score, and aesthetic outcomes. We included patients with mild-to-moderate arm dermatochalasis (Duncan classification) fat deposits in the upper extremities who were considered candidates for third-generation US-assisted liposculpture, power-assisted liposuction, RF-assisted lipolysis/skin tightening, and laser-assisted liposuction. A total of 683 consecutive patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. Most of them were women (n = 605, 88%). Fat grafting was performed in 80 patients (11.7%). A significant portion of the patients were secondary cases (n = 223, 33%). Age ranged from 18 to 70 years (median = 38 years). BMI ranged from 17.8 to 34.8 kg/m2 (mean = 24.3 kg/m2). RF-assisted and laser-assisted high-definition liposculpture of the arms are both effective and reproducible techniques for patients who seek an athletic and slim arm contour. A low rate of complications and high satisfaction index support our findings.
