Is there a difference in S.A.F.E. lipo recovery vs other lipo techniques?

Thank you for your question.We use the SAFE technique in our practice, as this helps to harvest the fat and provide a more even contour for the patient.  The extra passes of the special cannulas (tubes used to harvest the fat) likely don't make recovery any different than if the technique wasn't used.  Be sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss their approach to liposuction in your case.  Best of luck!

What matters most if the person doing the procedure, their skill, expertise, artistry and the type of liposuction they do (hi def versus traditional; with or without fat harvest/transfer). Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.
