**3. New technologies**

Secondly, there has been a very important development in new technologies and devices. Practically each year we see a new console, a new machine that comes out to the market promising the best results. We as surgeons have to be very well informed on what effects those new technologies will produce in our patients, selecting which ones are best for them with consistent results and scientific evidence supporting them [4]. First, with the introduction of power-assisted liposuction, we as surgeons got less fatigued, with less movements we could extract a lot more of fat from a particular area, thus enhancing the results. Secondly came the ultrasonic liposculpture, helping us liquify the fat, eliminating the adipose tissue, facilitating the extraction, and helping us with the postoperative recovery with less inflammation and quicker recovery times. Finally, what we are using nowadays is operative radiofrequency helping us with a much better skin retraction, less inflammation, stimulation of collagen and elastin production, and with so, better skin quality and better results, enhancing negative areas and accentuating lights and shadows that make our results even better. The last piece in the puzzle has been the postoperative therapy that has helped the patient in a reduced swelling, less seromas formation, and better skin redraping to the areas where fat was extracted [5].
