ABSTRACT

Suction-assisted lipectomy is a useful adjunct technique that allows the microsurgeon to debulk composite tissue transfers safely, without fear of compromising flap viability. The functional and aesthetic results of free flaps can often be enhanced in a single stage, which may not be possible using other conventional procedures.
