Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Reston foam and lipo foam are similar, but not identical. Reston foam as an adhesive side that I have found to irritate skin, whereas lipo foam does not. It is also easier to clean lipo foam. Ultimately, you should ask your surgeon if the product that you are using is OK. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
