Liposculpture with ultrasound: biomedical considerations.
The authors, after a careful review of the scientific literature and on the basis of biophysical concepts with their own experience, conclude that high-intensity ultrasounds (US) are responsible for some biological lesions, which are partly unknown. US can cause burns and skin necrosis; thus, our employment of this technique must be correct, justified, and practiced very carefully and shrewdly and its advantages versus traditional liposuction must be reviewed.
