Liposuction: SAFELipo

SURGICAL REJUVENATION PROCEDURE

About SAFELipo Surgery

Sculpt Your Silhouette

Liposuction, or SAFELipo, is an aesthetic procedure designed to remove excess fat cells from specific areas of the body, creating a more contoured and defined appearance. This procedure is ideal for those looking to target stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Why Consider LIPOSUCTION?

Liposuction effectively targets and removes fat cells. SAFELipo is a liposuction technique invented by one of my mentors, Dr. Simeon Wall Jr. SAFELipo stands for “separation, aspiration, and fat equalization.” SAFELipo does not use any thermal-assisted technology (lasers, ultrasound, radiofrequency) which has become popular in liposuction but has the potential to cause internal scarring and contour deformities.

The Benefits:

  1. Targeted Fat Removal: Eliminates stubborn fat deposits.

  2. Enhanced Contour: Sculpts and defines your body shape.

  3. Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are removed, they do not return.

What to Expect

  1. Consultation: We will discuss your goals and identify the areas you wish to target with liposuction. Ideal candidates are those with good skin elasticity and localized fat deposits.

  2. Procedure: I use the SAFELiposuction technique, which involves:

    • Fat removal through a series of small, well-hidden incisions.

    • A multi-step process that preserves blood vessels and nerves, minimizing potential complications like scarring and contour deformities.

  3. Recovery: Recovery typically involves swelling and mild bruising which subsides in several weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment to support the treated areas, ensure optimal healing, and decrease swelling.

Liposuction FAQs

  • The fat cells removed during liposuction do not return. If you gain weight after liposuction, the remaining fat cells will enlarge. Weight gain will likely be more noticeable in areas that were not treated with liposuction.

  • SAFELiposuction is a powerful liposuction technique that helps to avoid potential complications like scarring and contour deformities associated with other methods. It preserves blood vessels and nerves while effectively removing fat, making it a safer option.

  • Liposuction involves making small incisions in the targeted areas through which excess fat is removed. The SAFELipo technique I use includes additional steps to ensure smooth, even results.

  • The incisions for liposuction are small and strategically placed to be well-hidden. They typically heal well and become less noticeable over time.

  • You will have swelling and mild bruising after surgery; it takes several weeks for the swelling to fully resolve. You will need to wear a compression garment on the treated area after surgery. A nerve medication called gabapentin is extremely helpful for pain-control after liposuction and will be prescribed for you.

  • The fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise is essential to preserve your results.
