Face and Neck Remodeling with Ultrasound-Assisted (VASER) Lipoplasty

  • Chapter
Simplified Facial Rejuvenation

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to my dear friend Franco Antognini M.D. (1945–2006) who was the anesthesiologist in my clinic for over 13 years. His great talent and humanity should be remembered as an example for young physicians. He will be missed by all, especially his wife, daughter, and son (who is just starting his medical career).
