Dr. Dan Shapiro is a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. All he does is perform aesthetic or cosmetic surgery, and has been performing those procedures since 1992 in the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley area.
There are different kinds of liposuction and the two hottest liposuctions now, in terms of techniques, are SAFE liposuction, S-A-F-E, and VASER liposuction. People often ask, "Dr. Shapiro, what is the difference between SAFE liposuction and VASER liposuction?" First of all, VASER liposuction has been around for a long time. It uses ultrasonic liposuction. What it does, is it cavitates the fat and helps promote some skin contraction. He does a lot of VASER liposuction. Sometimes he will do VASER hi def liposuction, which is a more extreme form of VASER liposuction that has a somewhat increased risk of things like skin burns, etc. It allows him to three-dimensionally contour your body in a really beautiful way.
SAFE liposuction does not involve ultrasonic energy, so there's lesser risk of skin burns. There are great results with SAFE liposuction. What the SAFE is, S-A-F-E stands for Separation, Filtration, and then Equalization. Dr. Shapiro is not using ultrasonic energy but actually using the tumescent fluid that he uses for both kinds of liposuction. He lets that tumescent fluid sit there for a while, that has the pain medication and vasoconstrictor in it. Then after about ten minutes, he'll use a special cannula that has a basket on it. That basket is used in order to release the fat from surrounding tissues, and also stimulate the underlying skin.
After he releases that evened-out fat, he will use a standard liposuction cannula, a mercedes cannula if you will, very small, three to four millimeters, and removes that fat, leaving a nice cushion of soft tissue there, and fat, to make a much more youthful result. After he’s done that, he will go back and use that basket cannula again to help stimulate the skin, and equalize the fat again. What that does, is make it so there's not as much dimpling. Post-operatively, he sees a much more even result.
In certain patients, they're good candidates for the SAFE liposuction. Other candidates may be better suited for the VASER liposuction.
