Localized adiposis invariably disturbs the natural contours of the face and body, and can further cause the inferiority of the patients. Moreover, excessive obesity could be harmful for the health. Therefore, removal of the excess adipose tissue to keep the perfect shape and maintain a healthy physical state is now a common pursuit. Many methods have been used to treat the local adiposis and general obesity, including diet, medication, exercise and liposuction. For the purpose of improving the body contour, liposuction is the most widely used due to its long lasting result and positive effect. Over the past 30 years, liposuction has become an increasingly popular procedure and one of the most frequent aesthetic surgical operations. At the earlier stage of the liposuction in the 1980s, the operation was usually performed as a hospital in-patient procedure, under general anesthesia and often required blood transfusion due to the blood lost during the operation. The procedure was usually related to a lot of potential complications. In 1988, Klein [1] published his important scientific contribution on the tumescent technique, administering large quantities of very dilute buffered lidocaine and epinephrine which could significantly reduce intra-operative bleeding and post-operative ecchymoses [2]. Although Klein’s tumescent technique dramatically improved the safety and recovery of patients, it has some shortages and the complications after liposuction, including bleeding, pain, operative trauma, slow recovery with weeks down time to the patients, and hard work for the surgeons. On the other hand, Liposuction can work well for treating large areas of adiposis with thicker layers and looser texture, but it is less effective for the compact adipose tissues found in some localized positions such as the neck, in secondary procedures or in cases of gynecomastia. The adiposis in these locations consists of firm fibrous connective tissue and compact adipose tissues, which makes conventional liposuction more difficult to perform. It is difficult to insert and move the suction cannula within the compact tissues, and the
