SAFELipo liposuction is a surgical technique with a growing reputation to deliver what clients are looking for at our Caribbean plastic surgery clinic at Trinidad Institute of Plastic Surgery – better appearance, smoother contours. SAFE is an acronym for the three steps of the sculpting process – separation, aspiration, fat equalization. The first step separates the fat from connective tissues and particularly blood vessels and nerves while avoiding much of the trauma to the latter normally caused by laser, ultrasound and negative pressure.
