The Board mandate is in response to the fact that, in the past five years, 19 women in South Florida have died from the procedure, which is considered to have one of the highest mortality rates of any cosmetic surgery, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Clarius Mobile Health said.

Clarius L7 HD3 is available with an advanced aesthetic tool that offers additional customization for exams and procedures in addition to buttock lifts such as facial aesthetics, breast augmentation, and hair follicle imaging, according to the firm.
