What is SAFE Liposuction?

Godawgs
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.
