Abstract

Water jet-assisted lipoplasty channels a thin, targeted, fan-shaped jet into adipose tissue to loosen tissue structure and release adipocytes. According to the authors, water jet-assisted lipoplasty facilitates preinfiltration of modified tumescent solution to create analgesia, resulting in painless or near painless lipoplasty. The authors contend that, with this method, patient safety has increased considerably, even in extensive procedures.
