Abstract
Ultrasound energy can be applied to the adipose component of the breast parenchyma to reduce the volume of the breastmound in hypertrophic breasts. This technique has its main application in patients with fibrofatty and fatty breast parenchyma who are accurately selected before breast reduction and fixation with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty is performed.
