Advantages of SAFELipo Liposuction
Dr. Jugenburg prefers using tumescent SAFELipo to SmartLipo, because it offers:
- Ability to work on larger areas of the body
- Ability to remove larger amounts of fat
- Smoother liposuction due to use of the SAFELipo method
- Minimal blood loss due to vasoconstriction from local anesthesia
- Ability to remove larger amounts of fat
- Less painful due to tumescent anesthesia
Compared to SmartLipo, SAFELipo Liposuction provides a more gradual and controlled removal of fat, producing smoother results. And because the specific technique used, there is lower risk of producing skin depressions and irregularities.
Sutures are often not needed to close the holes produced by tumescent lipo. This promotes a large amount of post-procedure drainage, which reduces bruising, tenderness and swelling following the surgery. Another advantage of tumescent liposuction is that it provides fluid so efficiently to the body that IV fluids are not required after the procedure.
Advantages of Power Assisted Lipo
Power assisted liposuction uses a specialized cannula that vibrates at a very fast speed allowing easier removal of fat. Fat is also suctioned more gently than with other types of lipo, and requires less anesthesia. Because it requires less force to use, there is reduced swelling and bruising on the patient, as well as less pain.
Unlike SmartLipo, Power Assisted liposuction uses no heat, so there is no concern for the accidental burning that could occur with laser liposuction.
