Nd:YAG Laser-Assisted Liposuction for an HIV patient
This report aims to describe the clinical outcomes for a man with buffalo hump
who underwent lipolaser-assisted liposuction. This technique obtained a significant reduction in the size of the adiposity
and an improvement in the neck’s range of motion. At this writing, after 3 years, the patient is satisfied with his cosmetic
and functional results. The authors believe that lipolaser-assisted liposuction using the Smartlipo Deka-Mela neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet
(Nd:YAG) 1,064-mm-long pulse is effective in reducing the cervicodorsal fat pad. The technique is performed using local anesthesia
with low operative risks and minimal surgical trauma. The treated zone shows rapid healing, and the whole procedure requires
a day-hospital recovery, thus reducing the costs.
