title: Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction. Internal and external.
abstract: UAL has not provided the promised ideal of "fat dissolution without surgery." In extremely fibrous areas and second procedure liposuction, internal UAL may be a valuable tool once it is further perfected. UAL equipment continues to evolve and as it improves we hope to see a better safety profile, a mechanism for smaller entrance sites, and greater time efficiency in the procedure.
