lipoplasty is becoming more common and has been proven
to be safe and effective. Large-volume lipoplasty is
normally performed with the patient under general anesthesia.
Techniques of general anesthesia and fluid man- agement
are important factors in improving the safety of large-volume
lipoplasty.
