Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of the external ultrasonic, the internal ultrasonic and simple negative pressure liposuction operations under tumescent anesthesia.
METHODSThe fat volume, operative time, complications and other indexes of liposuction in 276 cases were collected and compared.
RESULTSExternal ultrasonic liposuction rapidly emulsified the fat with the least complication. The effects of the internal ultrasonic liposuction was next to the external ultrasonic method while the simple negative pressure liposuction had the poorest effects.
CONCLUSIONThe external ultrasonic liposuction operation is a safe and effective method for local overweight reduction.
