Suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL; liposuction) is an established aesthetic procedure in plastic surgery.

The main parameters differentiating one method of lipoplasty from another are safety, consistency of results, and other more technical parameters.

Due to the recent popularity of lipotransfer, the quality of extracted fat has become a relevant parameter. We compare the viability of extracted adipocytes after dry SAL, hyper-tumescent PAL (power-assisted lipoplasty), and water-assisted lipoplasty (WAL).

We used fluorescent microscopy to differentiate viable from necrotic/apoptotic cells after liposuction using each of the mentioned methods.
