Abstract
Until 20 years ago, surgical lipectomy was accomplished exclusively through an open surgical approach. It was then largely replaced with the less invasive suction technique. More recently, the field has expanded again with the advent of liposhaving, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and laser-assisted liposuction, making surgical lipectomy one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures today. The techniques of lipectomy are discussed along with their applications to facial plastic surgery.
