Abstract

A single case is reported utilizing ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) to treat fat necrosis after deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap breast reconstruction. UAL treatment resulted in softening of the fibrous fat necrotic areas, while maintaining acceptable breast contour. UAL is safer and less invasive than traditional treatments for fat necrosis including direct excision and suction-assisted liposuction.
