Abstract
In this article, the author discusses liability issues for suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL) and ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) that every plast ic surgeon should consider. The article reviews factors affecting SAL insur ance, discusses the outlook for the new UAL procedure based on experiences with previous breakthrough procedures, and closes with a call for all plast ic surgeons to exercise great care in patient selection.
