Is there any evidence that ultrasound assisted liposuction releases free radicals and therefore increases the patient’s risk for cancer and other problems?
A:
There is absolutely no scientifically proven evidence that ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) releases a significant amount of free radicals that would jeopardize a patient’s health or increase their risk of cancer. However, UAL of the breast is not recommended, as it is currently undergoing long-term clinical studies of its effect on breast tissue.
