The first author is Dr. Raúl Manzaneda Cipriani, with Durán, Adrianzén, Carvalho, Viaro, Flores, Delobaux and Babaitis as co-authors. The article is available at its official source: doi.org/10.1097/GOX.0000000000006848.
Where it sits in the portfolio
It is the same philosophy that makes incision-free rib remodeling possible: using ultrasound as the surgeon's eyes. Applied to liposuction, it turns a traditionally «blind» procedure into one guided by real-time imaging.
Frequently asked questions
What makes direct vision liposuction different from traditional liposuction?
The guidance: it is performed while seeing the working plane through real-time intraoperative ultrasound, instead of relying on touch and experience alone.
What does the published study evaluate?
The safety and effectiveness of the procedure performed with intraoperative ultrasonography, published in PRS Global Open (2025).
