Abstract
Vibroliposuction, the state of the art in techniques of liposuction/liposculpture, was invented in Belgium and presented for the first time in October, 1997. This vibropneumatic system uses special cannulas between 3 and 5 mm wide and of different lengths. The passage of the air through the machine (Euromi, Belgium) induces movements that permit lysis of the adipose tissue and aspiration of the emulsified fat. Based on experience with various liposuction techniques, the author concludes that this kind of liposuction is much less traumatic for the patient, causes fewer hematomas, less swelling, and thus brings about a quicker recovery.
