Abstract
The author evaluates his early 21/2-year experience with closed aspirative lipoplasty, first introduced in the United States by Illouz. Although his experience with the technique during this period has resulted in good to excellent overall results, the abdomen, however, seems to have inherent problems unique to this area of the torso. He provides the reader with an understanding of these problems and methods to correct them.
