Types Of Liposuction At Shapiro Plastic Surgery

Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction is an advanced body contouring technique to trim stubborn fat bulges from the thighs, belly, hips, upper arms, bra rolls, male chest, and other areas where the physique has been aesthetically compromised. The fat is suctioned out using a slender tube (cannula) and is either discarded as waste or saved for a future fat transfer treatment down the line.

SAFELipo

SAFELipo uses an innovative three-part process to safely and effectively tone the figure. First, fat deposits are loosened and dissolved using a vibrating handpiece. Second, gentle suction is used to remove the broken-down fat. Lastly, the leftover fat is equalized and smoothed, minimizing the risk of irregularities and indentations in the skin.

VASER Hi-def Liposuction

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy At Resonance. This type of liposuction utilizes ultrasound waves to emulsify the fat prior to removal, making the process easier and safer. Like with other forms of liposuction, ideal candidates should be within 15 pounds of their ideal weight before treatment.

Hi-def Liposuction

Hi-definition liposuction is a precision-based body sculpting option for achieving the chiseled, refined physique that can elude even those clients who work out regularly at the gym. Using ultrasound and SAFELipo, Dr. Shapiro can remove stubborn fat without disturbing the surrounding skin tissue. Hi-def lipo helps to highlight the muscle groups and tighten the skin, all with minimal downtime and discomfort.
