Has anyone heard of this? This is how it was explained to me: The liposuction that the doctor discussed with you during your consultation was SAFE liposuction, utilizing a basket cannula to break up the fat , followed by suction to remove the fat, then again with the basket cannula to smooth out the fat, resulting in a smoother, tighter appearance. I cannot find any reference to this particular technique anywhere on the Internet.

Answer: SAFELipo The term SAFELipo (TM) has been trademarked by Dr Simeon Wall in Louisiana. It is a method of liposuction just as you described. The first step is to Separate (S) the fat with those exploded tip liposuction cannulas without using any suction. The second step is to Aspirate (A) the fat with mercedes tip cannulas on suction.... I'm not sure if Dr Wall has published his method yet but it was presented at a recent cosmetic surgery conference. This technique is being advocated to reduce contour irregularities (dents) after liposuction.

Answer: Safe liposuction.
There have been several "new" liposuction techniques which have been heavily marketed in the media. Laser lipo, smart lipo, ultrasonic lipo, water jet assisted lipo, etc. The new techniques, which proclaimed to be "better, safer, faster, less recovery time, with less bruising, are a triumph of marketing over science. I know of no scientific paper which shows significantly improved results from any of these "new" procedures as opposed to carefully done Tumescent liposuction. So if you nor any of the surgeons who have already answered this questions can find any reference to this SAFE liposuction, I would avoid it.
