In New Bern, North Carolina, Dr. John Zannis of the Zannis Center for Plastic Surgery today announced the addition of SAFElipo to his body contouring services. He is the only plastic surgeon in Eastern North Carolina performing this procedure. This process offers a gentler approach to liposuction without the aid of heat, which minimizes damage to the skin, blood vessels, nerves, and the remaining fat layer. SAFElipo provides results without the lumpiness and waviness that can result from traditional liposuction techniques.
“I am proud to add SAFElipo to my body contouring portfolio as an effective option for my clients struggling with specific problem areas,” stated Dr. Zannis. “Very often, my clients are eating right and exercising, but have isolated pockets of fat on their abdomen, back, hip, knees, or thighs. SAFElipo is perfect for targeting these stubborn areas.”
SAFE is an acronym for the liposuction process and stands for fat Separation, fat Aspiration, and Fat Equalization. The three step procedure is gentle and provides less bruising and recovery time. According to Dr. Zannis, it is this final step that makes SAFElipo different than other liposuction techniques because the equalization prevents a wavy, lumpy, or unnatural appearance of the skin.
