The liquid facelift: First hands-on experience with facial water jet-assisted liposuction as an additive technique for rhytidectomy - a case series of 25 patients

摘要

Objective: Recently, water jet-assisted liposuction (WAL) was successfully applied by several other authors to remove fat and induce skin contraction in nonfacial body areas. Extending the range of indications for this new method, the authors of this article report on their first experience with its use in facial contouring, fat harvesting, and hydrodissection of the facial skin flap in rhytidectomy in a case series of 25 patients.
