Liposuction (SAFELipo)

SAFELipo (Separation, Aspiration, Fat Equalization) liposuction for 1 area from $6,000, 2 areas from $9,500, and full torso 360° from $13,500. High-definition (HD) abdominal liposuction available from $8,000 for athletic muscle-highlighting results. Austin Plastic Surgeon uses the SAFELipo technique, which reduces contour irregularity and skin dimpling compared to traditional liposuction, with all-inclusive published pricing.

Austin Plastic Surgeon performs liposuction using the SAFELipo (Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization) technique, a systematic three-step approach developed to reduce the incidence of contour irregularities and skin dimpling that can follow traditional liposuction. In the Separation phase, a special vibrating cannula disrupts and separates fat lobules from the surrounding fibrous septa without aspiration, mechanically breaking the tissue plane before any fat is removed. In the Aspiration phase, the liquefied fat is removed using standard suction, with the surgeon able to aspirate more uniformly due to the pre-separation step. In the Fat Equalization phase, the surgeon uses a special blunt instrument to redistribute and smooth the remaining fat layer, correcting any under- or over-treated areas before closing — a quality-control step that traditional liposuction protocols do not include. The practice offers liposuction with published all-inclusive pricing by treatment area: one area from $6,000 to $7,200; two areas from $9,500 to $10,200; and the full torso 360° (abdomen, flanks, and back) from $13,500 to $15,000. High-definition (HD) abdominal liposuction ($8,000–$8,900) is available for patients with good underlying muscle tone who seek athletic-appearing results with enhanced muscle definition. Treatable areas include the abdomen, flanks, love handles, back bra rolls, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, upper arms, and the submental area.
