What is SAFELipo®?
SAFELipo® differs from traditional liposuction in that it uses a unique three-step process to contour the body. First, unwanted fat cells are loosened, liquefied, and separated from surrounding tissues, all without the need of destructive thermal energy. This all-important first stage allows the second stage, during which the fat cells are gently suctioned out, to be accomplished using smaller, thinner cannulas than are used in conventional liposuction. Finally, the layer of fat that remains in the treatment area is equalized to produce a smooth, defined, natural-looking appearance. This equalization stage prevents the skin from adhering to the underlying layer of muscle, thereby avoiding contour irregularities, ultimately ensuring aesthetically superior results to those possible with conventional liposuction methods.
Candidacy for SAFELipo®
SAFELipo® is often an ideal solution for people who are undergoing body contouring for the first time, as well as for those who have undergone liposuction in the past and were dissatisfied with their results. In fact, SAFELipo® was originally developed specifically as a means of revising poor liposuction results, making it an outstanding secondary procedure.
In general, if you are a good candidate for liposuction, you are almost certainly a good candidate for SAFELipo®. Good candidates for SAFELipo® will:
- Be in good enough health to undergo surgery. Although SAFELipo® is minimally invasive, it is a surgical procedure that requires a period of healing.
- Be at or near their ideal weight with isolated deposits of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise.
- Understand that SAFELipo® is a body contouring procedure and not intended for weight loss.
- Be willing and able to follow post-surgical instructions to the letter.
- Be willing to lead healthy lifestyles after the procedure in order to maintain their results.
