Liporeduction by endocoagulation.
BACKGROUND: Plastic surgery and dermatologic techniques are constantly being improved, but clinical expression of the aging process and its surgical management remains a challenge. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an alternative surgical approach for submandibular, mental, and periorbital loose tissue treatment. METHODS: We present a modified transcutaneous bipolar diathermy microprobe using the coaxial principle for the treatment of mental, submandibular, and periorbital loose tissue. RESULTS: The outcome was evaluated as satisfactory for the following reasons: lower morbidity, it is a simple time-saving surgical technique, no healing difficulties, less dehiscence, no wound exposure, minimal incisions, and a faster postoperative recovery with a simple wound care. CONCLUSION: We suggest that this procedure is a simple surgical approach that delays extensive plastic surgery.
