This study was performed to compare the effect of external ultrasound assisted PAL(power assisted liposuction) with that of PAL alone. We performed 17 cases of liposuction from January 2003 to June 2003. For comparing both systems, we treated the right side(study group) with external ultrasound assisted PAL and the left side(control group) with PAL alone. To evaluate the difference in results between two groups, we surveyed three objective and four subjective items. Objectives were categorized as "Reduction rate of postoperative swelling", "Efficiency of suction" and "Histologic finding of aspirated fat tissue". Subjectives were also filed as "Degree of postoperative bruising", "Cannula resistance that operator felt", "Degree of postoperative pain" and "Patient's satisfaction". We assessed by questionnaire three times at 1day, 7 days and 30 days after operation. There were statistically significant differences in two of the subjective items; "Degree of postoperative pain at postoperative 1 day" and "Cannula resistance that operator felt". This study concludes that external ultrasound PAL is more effective high mobility of fat tissue and low tension of surrounding tissue. External ultrasound PAL will be more useful in case of large volume liposuction and revision procedures.

We propose a safe, simple, and novel method to harvest fat using a standard liposuction cannula and a Redivac or alternative closed-suction drain. The authors have used this technique for both 'dry' and 'wet' liposuction. This technique is both easy to perform and cost-effective whilst providing both a silent and relatively atraumatic fat harvest. The lower negative pressure compared with traditional harvesting systems likely preserves fat integrity for lipofilling. This method maximises resources already held within a hospital environment.

The use of autologous fat with microlipoinjection is one of soft tissue augmentation and recently has been popular with the advent of tumescent liposuction. We performed this method successfully in 41 patients with atrophic, depressive change in the hands as a sequelae of Hansen's disease. Microlipoinjection using autologous fat has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for correcting tissue defects without significant complications.
