| | Abstract | This article discusses a technique of cervicofacial rejuvenation that involves ultrasound-assisted lipectomy. This method is indicated for those patients who might be early candidates for a rhytidectomy, and/or those with an adipose volume excess in the lower facial and cervical areas. The application of ultrasonic energy stimulates skin retraction and allows for the superficial fat to be more safely accessed than can be accomplished with conventional liposuction methods. This technique, along with a retrospective analysis of the first 26 cases treated with the technique, will be presented in this article. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Case Reports
