1. An apparatus for preconditioning fatty tissue for liposuction, said apparatus comprising:

  • a source of R-F energy;

    an applicator body;

    a first antenna mounted to said applicator body, said first antenna being transmissively connected to said R-F source;

    a first R-F shield mounted to said first antenna, said first R-F shield being constructed of a material impermeable to R-F radiation, said first R-F shield being shaped, sized, and positioned to shield a user of said apparatus from R-F radiation and to direct R-F radiation from said first antenna in a first selected direction;

    a second antenna mounted to said applicator body independently of said first antenna, said second antenna being transmissively connected to said R-F source;

    a second R-F shield mounted to said second antenna independently of said first R-F shield, said second R-F shield being shaped, sized, and positioned to shield a user of said apparatus from R-F radiation and to direct R-F radiation from said second antenna in a second selected direction; and

    a flexible connecting member on said applicator body, said flexible member connecting said first and second antennae together, said flexible connecting member being adapted to allow independent orientation of said first and second antennae in different said first and second directions.
