Treatment of Submental Fat Deposit with Cholanic Acid Intra-Adipocyte Lipolysis Compared with Liposuction Prospective Study
@article{Makkar2015TreatmentOS, title={Treatment of Submental Fat Deposit with Cholanic Acid Intra-Adipocyte Lipolysis Compared with Liposuction Prospective Study}, author={Rami M. Makkar}, journal={The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery}, year={2015}, volume={32}, pages={129 - 136} }
Introduction: Over the years, liposuction has been the standard treatment for localized fatty deposit. Lipolysis is a controversial procedure based generally on phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate injection. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of cholanic acid Aqualyx with the efficacy of liposuction in women with moderate submental fatty collection. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized study of 30 women with moderate submental fatty collection. Half of the…
