Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction

Ultrasonic liposuction in Atlanta is also known as Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction, Ultrasound assisted liposuction, ultrasonic assisted lipoplasty, or UAL. Ultrasonic liposuction uses sound waves to remove unwanted fat. Ultrasonic assisted liposuction is very effective in removing fat from fibrous areas of the body such as male breast, the back the tummy area (abdomen), and hips. It can be used in other areas of the body.
