Brachioplasty by Power-Assisted Liposuction and Fat Transfer: A Novel Approach That Obviates Skin Excision

Liposuction-Assisted Short-Scar Brachioplasty: Technical Highlights.

Upper arm contouring is based on the location and amount of excess skin and fat. The short-scar brachioplasty addresses minimal to moderate skin laxity and lipodystrophy in the proximal arm in patients with appropriate skin tone and quality. This article highlights technical refinements of the senior author's (R.J.R.) approach to short-scar medial liposuction-assisted brachioplasty to maximize ...

Power-Assisted Liposuction (P.A.L.) Fat Harvesting for Lipofilling: The Trap Device

DEAR EDITOR Coleman classically described four phases in fat grafting including harvesting, refinement, transfer and placement. The harvesting phase can be simplified by using the “trap device” instead of the conventional 10-cc Luer-Lock syringes. The “trap device” for harvesting fat by Power Assisted Liposuction and Medinorm tank is a convenient, wholly sterile, time saving method to provide f...

Improving outcomes in upper arm liposuction: adding radiofrequency-assisted liposuction to induce skin contraction.

BACKGROUND Brachioplasty is frequently recommended for patients with more skin laxity than subcutaneous fat. However, many patients are reluctant to accept a visible scar that will affect the activity of the upper arm or clothing choices. Traditional liposuction is effective when minimal skin laxity is present, but the dual problems of postoperative residual skin laxity and unsatisfactory conto...
