title: Ultrasonically assisted lipectomy in aesthetic breast surgery.
abstract: A case report of a young patient with marked asymmetry treated successfully with ultrasonically assisted lipectomy with a good functional cosmetic result, undetectable scars, and mammographic control and showing no ill-effect on the breast parenchyma is presented. Further studies and follow-up are needed to confirm the value and advisability of using ultrasonic energy in the female breast.
