Abstract
Since the description of the modern liposuction methods, many new devices and equipments have been introduced, together with the development of different technologies. Upon the fat transfer and stem cell treatments becoming widespread, atraumatic and effective liposuction and lipotransfer methods have also become commonly employed. There is a wide range of commercial equipments from conventional syringe-assisted liposuction sets to high-tech devices, all designed for different purposes. When these equipments are not accessible or in case of deficiencies of the current systems, the surgeons may find smart and low-cost solutions using the described technical modifications.
