Abstract
The author presents a new technique for aspiration of local adipose deposits using a new appliance which allows the perfusion of physiological solution and local anaesthesia and the subsequent suction of the adipositary membrane, previously liquefied. The extreme simplicity of the method, which is noninvasive, the absence of the dimpling residual after the operation, and the lack of collateral effects are advantages over the traditional liposuction technique. We treated about 30 patients with local pathologies affecting the lower limbs and the flanks. The pathologies improved cutaneously and the average volume of aspirated fat was 300 cc. Moreover, we could underline an energetic retraction on part of the subcutaneous tissue, which, by adhering to the underlying structures, prevents possible depressions. The operating technique is explained.
