Answer: SAFE Liposuction Thank you for the question. Smartlipo is a device that uses a laser to coagulate blood vessels prior to and following liposuction. The energy can lead to increased scarring and potential for contour irregularities that are difficult to correct. SAFE liposuction is a technique that avoids thermal injury to the surgical area. SAFE liposuction is used to correct contour deformities following Smarlipo. My preference is SAFE liposuction, but I recommend you visit with your plastic surgeon so that you can make the right decision for yourself.

Answer: Smartlipo vs SAFElipo This is an excellent question, the answers to this question would vary greatly based on the surgeon answering the questions own techniques, experience and biases. I have limited personal experience with smartlipo. I used it for a few cases about 6-8 years ago when there was a lot of hype and although I had no problems, I didn't see the point of using a laser to burn tissue I was only going to be removing. I have a lot of experience with revision after smartlipo done elsewhere. I see at least a patient a week with what I call smartlipo deformity, a consistent pattern of tethered scar tissue beneath the skin with a dense, stuck appearing irregularity of the skin, typically on the abdomen. This is often irreparable and you can probably guess that I am not a big fan of Smartlipo for these reasons. On the contrary, I think that SAFElipo is the best development in liposuction in the last 20 years. For me, it allows more aggressive treatment closer to the skin which allows natural skin contraction. I have seen smoother results than achievable with standard PAL liposuction.
