Executive Summary
SUCTION LIPOPLASTY DOWNCLASSIFICATION WITHOUT "ARBITRARY" AGE CUT-OFF at 55 is urged by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Academy of Dermatology in separate comments to FDA. The comments are in response to FDA's Nov. 13 proposal to reclassify suction lipoplasty systems used in "aesthetic body contouring" from Class III to Class II ("The Gray Sheet" Nov. 18, I&W-2).
