I have been very fortunate to have people in my
life who believe in me and support my career. I
wish to dedicate this book to them.
It has been over 20 years since Rohrich, Beran, and Kenkel wrote their acclaimed
textbook, Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. The book served our specialty well. It
was a comprehensive, concise reference which covered all the important topics
associated with what was then a new and exciting technology for plastic surgeons.
Since that time, we have developed a better understanding of the dynamics of
internal ultrasound for body contouring and its effect on adipose tissue. The current
ultrasound devices for liposuction are safer and more efficient than the previous
generations. This textbook is intended to bridge the gap between the early days of
ultrasonic liposuction and the present. The contributing authors are all well-
respected experts in the field who share their extensive experience with the new
ultrasound technology. It is my sincere intention that this book will serve as a refer-
ence in ultrasound-assisted liposuction for years to come.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction:
Introduction and Historic Perspectives
Mark L. Jewell
It’s 2019 and suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL) has been around in America for
almost 35 years. Without chronicling each advance in this technology, one can say
that this has become a mature, yet integral surgical technology for thinning of sub-
cutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Lipoplasty has evolved into a sophisticated tech-
nique for 3D body contouring, harvesting of fat for grafting, and as a complimentary
procedure with excisional body contouring (lipoabdominoplasty). I credit much of
this to advances in technology over the years. On the other hand, there are many
surgeons performing this procedure poorly with 30-year-old cannulas and no pro-
cess to produce great results. Poor aesthetic outcomes continue to this day because
some surgeons lack a process to produce great outcomes or have ill-defined subjec-
tive clinical endpoints during the procedure. Lipoplasty is not an all-comers proce-
dure where poor decisions made in terms of patient selection produce poor aesthetic
outcomes and patient dissatisfaction.
The concept of an energy-based lipoplasty device to enhance the ability of the
surgeon to be more precise with the reduction of SAT or to modulate the mid-
lamellar collagen matrix is perfect for ultrasonic energy versus other heat-emitting
technologies (laser and radiofrequency). A variety of approaches have been tried,
some very effective and others relegated to the medical device trash bin. Each of
these has specific limitations and nuances. When choosing an energy-based lipo-
plasty device, the surgeon must surround himself/herself with a process to produce
reproducible outcomes time and time again.
Cannulas that have some type of mechanical device to make them more (recipro-
cate or spin) are sold today. These are preferred by some surgeons for reduction of
SAT or for fat grafting [1]. This family of devices requires rather high cost of dis-
posable goods. The ergonomics of the device are poor, as it is somewhat large and
difficult to be precise with a long power handle and cannula assembly. With power-

assisted lipoplasty, one is still performing SAL, but with a powered device. The
same limitations for SAL apply here along with the need to be ultraprecise with
technique when using a power tool. Personally, I never found this technology that
appealing, due to poor ergonomics and cost of disposables.
The concept of using laser energy to heat SAT has largely come and gone. Few
surgeons are using this technology currently. Laser-assisted lipoplasty (LAL) was
heavily marketed to noncore physicians as a magic way to “melt fat.” Unfortunately,
this became a perfect storm of physicians lacking basic lipoplasty skills, an under-
standing of tissue thermodynamics regarding safe laser dosimetry, and improper
selection of patients. The net outcome was tissue burns, contour irregularities, and
fat necrosis. The laser energy frequencies typically target the chromophores of
water and hemoglobin in tissues. With this comes heating of SAT to high tempera-
tures and obliteration of blood supply. The net effect is inflammatory fat necrosis.
Burns were an all too common adverse event associated with LAL. While market-
ing campaigns for LAL had catchy names like “Smart Lipo,” there was little science
or outcome data that validated the benefit of tissue heating with laser energy [2, 3].
LAL has become obsolete.
Radiofrequency-assisted lipoplasty (RFAL) has been around for a while, but has
not achieved wide adoption. This is just another tissue heating technology that uses
monopolar radiofrequency energy from a probe that is passed back and forth in the
tissue. Initial reports on this device demonstrated very high tissue temperatures in
the excess of 60C [4]. Later-generation devices incorporated temperature monitor-
ing features designed to mitigate risk of skin and tissue necrosis. There have been
reports of this device being used on arms to tighten tissue and in the female breast
to produce tissue tightening via an “internal mastopexy.” The equipment for RFAL
does have a disposable cost and is challenging to use from an ergonomic perspective
because of the tissue probe and accompanying return electrode.
Water-assisted liposuction that uses high-pressure fluid to disrupt adipocytes
from the collagen matrix is a novel concept [5]. The major limitation here is the
costs of disposable goods.
Ultrasonic-associated lipoplasty (UAL) has been around for a long time. There
was a lot of interest in this technology in the late 1990s and subsequent disappoint-
ment with outcomes. The two major plastic surgery organizations in the USA under
the leadership of Franklin DiSpaltro organized the Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction
Task Force to help train plastic surgeons on how to operate second-generation UAL
devices (Lysonix, McGhan Medical, Santa Barbara, CA; Wells Johnson, Tucson
Arizona; and Mentor Contour Genesis, Mentor Corporation, Santa Barbara, CA).
The task force offered didactic and bioskills training on the use of these devices.
Before this time, there was not an educational pathway for plastic surgeons to
become familiar with UAL.
In looking back, my analysis of what went wrong with traditional UAL involved
several issues. First, the devices from that era were ultrasonic-powered cannulas
that were inefficient as tissue fragmenters and aspirators. Second, surgeons did not
have a process to safely use UAL devices or what was a safe amount of ultrasonic
energy to apply (dosimetry). Most of the reported complications from early-
generation UAL devices related to too much ultrasound or tissue burns from end of

the cannula touching the undersurface of the dermis (“end hits”) [6]. In the late
1990s UAL fell out of favor with surgeons.
I became intrigued with UAL during this time as it seemed to have promise as a
technique to improve the quality of lipoplasty but felt that given the inefficiency of
the devices was a major problem. My introduction to the third-generation UAL
devices called the VASER was approximately 17 years ago. Through William
Cimino, PhD, my colleague, Peter Fodor, MD, and I were intrigued with a new
approach for UAL with this device that was designed to overcome technical and
functional limitations of the inefficient and dangerous UAL devices.
William Cimino, PhD, took a very analytical approach to UAL and why the first-
and second-generation devices were not capable of delivering quality, safe out-
comes. Surgical ultrasound-powered devices were nothing new, yet there were
several things lacking in how UAL was performed and fat aspirated. First, fate frag-
mentation has to be accomplished with the least amount of energy (ultrasound), as
excess ultrasound in tissues produces adverse events seen with second-generation
UAL (burns, end hits, prolonged swelling, and seroma) that are the result of excess
tissue heating. Second-generation UAL devices actually aspirated during fragmen-
tation, thus removing the protective wetting solution that would mitigate tissue tem-
perature elevation.
The VASER system was designed with small-diameter solid titanium probes
with side grooving (Fig. 1.1). These would efficiently fragment fat at approximately
Much to our surprise, everything functioned perfectly. Fodor and Jewell utilized
pulsed ultrasound (“VASER mode”) and Souza Pinto used continuous ultrasound in
his body contouring surgery. When the data was collected from the cases in our pilot
study, we determined that there were none of the complications formerly reported
with second-generation UAL devices and patient satisfaction was excellent. Results
were published in The Aesthetic Journal and presented at ASAPS [6].
Subsequently, application of the VASER system has expanded into areas of 3D
liposculpture (Hoyos and Millard), autologous fat harvesting into sterile canisters, and
use in combination with excisional body contouring procedures (lipoabdominoplasty,
Jewell) [9–11]. Depending on the size of probe used, VASER liposuction can be per-
formed in conjunction with facial rejuvenation procedures. Credit must be given to
Garcia for studying blood loss with VASER and conventional liposuction [12]. He
