title: Syringe-assisted liposuction: a cosmetic surgeon's office technique.
abstract: Liposuction surgery is the fastest growing cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States. Our goal is to present a clinical review of our last 50 patients. We will present a technique of liposuction void of suction machine that is easily managed as an office surgical technique. The technique is modified from that of Dr. Fournier. We will outline the technique, including patient preoperative evaluation, monitoring, fluid management, postprocedure complications, photographic results, and, most importantly, patient selection.
