Syringe liposculpture.
This article presents syringe liposculpture, a technique for the treatment of localized fat deposits, to remodel the body and the face, using disposable syringes and fine-tip cannulas. In March 1989, the author started working on a combination of syringe liposculpture and superficial liposuction to treat the superficial layer of fat, resulting in "superficial liposculpture." Syringe liposculpture of the face can offer an alternative to rhytidoplasty. This is a gentle facial recontouring procedure and a complement to other techniques to improve the appearance with minimal morbidity through a simple, fast procedure with the patient under local anesthesia and no need for hospitalization.
