Resumo

This article presents syringe liposculpture, a technique for the treatment of localized fat deposits, to remodel the body and the face, using disposable syringes and fine-tip cannulas. In March 1989, the author started working on a combination of syringe liposculpture-and superficial liposuction to treat the superficial layer of fat, resulting in "superficial liposculpture." Syringe liposculpture of the face can offer an alternative to rhytidoplasty. This is a gentle facial recontouring procedure and a complement to other techniques to improve the appearance with minimal morbidity through a simple, fast procedure with the patient under local anesthesia and no need for hospitalization.
