What is the Best Lipo Method?

Liposuction is a blend of art and science.  I think Liposculpture is a more appropriate term.  I think the best results come from meticulous attention to detail, using many different tiny powered cannulas, excellent thorough evenly placed numbing fluid, avoidance of general anesthesia, and utilizing many different positions during the procedure.  The most  important factor is the skill set of the surgeon.  

Far more important than the
liposuction technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your question; it's one that a lot of people have
because there are so many options now for liposuction patients. First of all, I
think you were wise to avoid laser liposuction. In my experience, liposuction
techniques that use heat, like laser, radiofrequency and ultrasonic energy, can
cause a lot of problems. The same heat that liquefies the fat also causes
damage to the tissues surrounding the fat, not only killing the fat cells, but
killing other very important types of cells as well. This thermal injury causes
intense inflammation, subsequently causing even more cells to die and more scar
tissue to form in the targeted areas. This scar tissue causes the formation of dermal
adhesions which ultimately result in contour deformities such as indentations
or ripples.

I think that traditional liposuction can be fine, as long as
you don’t try to go too thin, and at a minimum, it’s performed by a
board-certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience. Power-assisted
liposuction is considered by many to be quite a bit easier on the patient and
surgeon, and it’s a tried-and-true form of liposuction, with most surgeons feeling
like they achieve very good results with it.

I developed a comprehensive body contouring method called
SAFELipo that many doctors around the world have adopted. It uses a 3-step
process of fat separation, aspiration, and equalization that combines the
benefits of liposuction, fat shifting and fat grafting. This process approach
allows some unique advantages in shaping all parts of the body, breasts, and
face. The very careful, unique separation
step allows for removal of the maximum volume of fat while preserving healthy
tissue and optimal blood supply to the area. The final equalization step ensures
a smooth, thin layer of remaining fat for visibly smoother and more thorough results.
These steps also allow for treatment of adjacent areas that may not need
liposuction, but do need skin tightening.
Because of the dramatic, smooth, sculpted results surgeons achieve, as
well as the very low rate of complications and bruising, and shortened recovery
with SAFELipo, I believe it to be the best liposuction method.

I recommend you consult with a board-certified plastic
surgeon who specializes in body contouring and can show plenty of his or her
own before and after pictures of the exact procedure you’re looking to have done.
He or she can give you guidance tailored to your specific physical
characteristics and goals. Good luck!

There is no one best liposuction...at least not yet. Different techniques may have different applications and benefits depending on the patient and surgeon. This can vary with the location of  the liposuction site ase well. In some instances, i have used laser, ultrasound, power assisted, nutational, syringe suction assited lipectomy/lipoplasty.

I always compare liposuction and surgeon to car and driver. In a car race such as NASCAR, the car does not win the race. What matters is who is driving the car. Similarly, in liposuction, surgical outcome its not based on the  method, but the surgeon doing the liposuction. Essentially, the best result in liposuction depends on the training and experience of the surgeon. Your surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.


There are many technologies available to assist the Plastic surgeon. The most common ones are ultrasonic (Vaser & Lysonix) and laser (multiple brands). Each technology carries its own inherent risk and benefits.
No matter which technologies used as an adjunct to liposuction, it is the training, experience, and judgment of the Plastic surgeon that makes the most difference in outcome. The surgeon should select the method that will deliver the best result for the patient. As an expert in all the methods of liposuction, I select which method to deliver the best result.
