Abstract
Two aspects of liposuction procedures are discussed as ways of improving results. First, to help with the efficiency of fat removal several technical points are considered, especially the freedom and the facility of performing the liposuction procedure with a syringe without the aid of an aspirator. Surgeons are showing a growing interest with this new method. New and practical material that allows a reduced number of necessary manipulations is described. Second, we stress the importance of drainage, especially in relation to the resumption of activity which is much quicker due to the absence of postoperative bruising. When using drainage, the final result can be obtained as early as the second or third day.
