Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical effect, postoperative satisfaction and complications of liposuction combined with low-energy bipolar radiofrequency BodyTite in arm with dermatolysis.Methods:From June 2013 to December 2019, 66 female patients were included. Firstly, liposuction treatment was performed in the designed operation area, and then radio-frequency skin tightening treatment was performed with BodyTite equipment. All patients were followed up for 6 months.Results:All the 66 patients had completed the operation successfully; their age ranged from 22-53 (28.3±6.9) years. The average body mass index was (23.8±3.4) kg/m 2, the average liposuction volume of unilateral upper arm was (288.6±95.6) ml, the average radiofrequency energy of unilateral upper arm was (4.2±1.1) kJ and the average operation time was (75.1±18.7) min 6 months after operation. A total of 42 cases were followed up. By self-evaluation satisfactory rate of patients was 92.8%, and the satisfactory rate of third-party independent plastic surgeons was 88.1%. There were no hematoma, seroma or infection except one case of skin blister. There was no serious complication requiring further surgical intervention. Conclusions:Bipolar radiofrequency BodyTite is a safe and effective method for the treatment of fat accumulation of upper arm with flabby skin.
