Study Case Report:
Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction ™
Before 1 Week 12 Weeks 18 Weeks
Patient: 57 Female with BMI of 27.6
Areas Treated:Abdomen, Left Flank & Medial Thighs
Anesthesia: Oral medication sedation:Vicodin ES, Torado 60 mg injection, Keflex 500 mg
Procedure: This patient presents a common surgical dilemma: fat reduction without excisional surgery.
She is 57 years old with excess adipose fat, skin laxity of the abdomen, and a slightly larger
left flank. The prime concern was to ensure that post surgery she would not have the saggy
loose skin overhanging in the abdominal area.
The patient was treated in10x10 cm zones (deep, mid, superficial; corresponding widths of 6 to
3 on the handle), until there was no resistance in the deep and mid layers and the superficial
treatment showed a skin surface temperature of approx 36.7 degrees centigrade. This
temperature was maintained for several minutes. RFAL exposure was as follows: right upper
quadrant for 4 minutes, right lower quadrant for 14 minutes, lower left quadrant for
10 minutes, left upper quadrant for 5 minutes and left flank for 4 minutes.
For the final touches after all the treatment zones are completed, a long 4 millimeter three
holed traditional liposuction cannula is used to remove the emulsified fat until there was a
thinner, but uniform, fat layer and appropriate body contour. The RFAL’s thermal treatment
allows this final stage to be performed with less blood and trauma, as the area has already
been coagulated. Pinch tests and a roller confirmed uniform fat distribution.
