Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being done to compare two commonly available types of body contouring, VASER-Assisted Lipoplasty (VAL) and Suction-Assisted Lipoplasty (SAL), and to decide if one procedure is preferred by patients and/or surgeons over the other. Participants will have VAL on one side of their body and SAL on the opposite side.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SAL

Each patient will have Suction Assisted Lipoplasty procedure on one side of the body (this will be considered the control side)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Suction-assisted Lipoplasty

Intervention Type DEVICE

Standard Suction-assisted lipoplasty will be performed on one side of the body to remove excess fat and contour the body in one or more of the following body areas: arm, inner thigh, outer thigh, back

VAL

Each patient will have VASER- assisted lipoplasty on the opposite side of the body. This will be the comparison side.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
