Zusammenfassung:Ultrasound-assisted lipectomy using the solid probe is a predictable and safe method that can yield excellent results. This method is particularly useful and is indicated when the subdermis must be approached to smooth out surface irregularities and/or to stimulate skin retraction. The authors present their method using the solid probe and a retrospective study of their first 100 consecutive cases. The indications for using the solid probe, its advantages and disadvantages, associated complications, and representative cases are presented.
