The solid-probe technique in ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty

The solid-probe ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technique is a predictable m ethod for obtaining optimal results in body contouring for select patients. Patients with inelastic skin, cellulite, skin laxity, and those undergoing secondary contouring procedures are ideal candidates for the solid-probe t echnique. The solid probe is thought to be a more efficient fat emulsificat ion device because it imparts more focal ultrasonic energy per amplitude th an hollow probes.
