Step 3: The final component of SAFELipo^® is Fat Equalization. No other liposuction technique employs Fat Equalization, but Dr. Gordon & Dr. Reid believe it is the vital step in ensuring optimal long-term results. After extracting the targeted fat cells, attention is then turned to the thin layer of fat that remains after Aspiration. This important layer is Equalized with special probes that vibrate, but don’t use suction. The thin, even layer of fat that remains is an absolute necessity for the smooth and natural appearance that you desire. With Equalization, a blanket of "local" fat grafts are left behind to prevent adherence of your skin down to the underlying muscle layer. By preventing this adhesion of the skin's dermis down to the muscle's fascia, the SAFELipo^® process is able to prevent the most persistent and pervasive problem after liposuction, since it was invented more than 30 years ago: contour irregularities. What does this mean for you? Preventing contour irregularities is the key to eliminating wavy skin, lumps, divots and other unfavorable and unnatural results of liposuction. Until SAFELipo^®, these problems were very difficult to prevent, even in the most experienced surgeons' hands. This crucial step, the cornerstone of SAFELipo^®’s innovative foundation, is the source of the buzz that has surrounded the technique since its inception.
