Body Contouring: The Skinny on Noninvasive Fat Removal
In addition to societal pressures, as our knowledge of the detrimental effects of obesity grows, there is further motivation for weight loss and fat reduction.

H. Ray Jalian, MD*, and Mathew M. Avram, JD, MD

Historically, the approach to body contouring has largely involved invasive procedures, such as liposuction. Recently, several new devices for noninvasive fat removal have received clearance by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of focal adiposity. Modalities are aimed primarily at targeting the physical properties of fat that differentiate it from the overlying epidermis and dermis, thus selectively resulting in removal. This review will focus on 3 novel approaches to noninvasive selective destruction of fat.
