Contour Trouble Areas with Safe Lipo*
If you struggle with areas of fat, and are interested in traditional liposuction, you may be a good candidate for Smart- Lipotm or Safe Lipo. The cutting-edge contouring procedure combines liposuction and sometimes laser technology to eliminate stubborn fat deposits while enhancing skin elasticity for a lean, rejuvenated body contour. Dr. James E. Murphy performs the treatment in our office, and it involves minimal discomfort and recovery time.

What Is Safe Lipo?
Safe Lipo works similarly to traditional liposuction. However, Safe Lipo is performed in the office instead of the hospital, and under local anesthesia instead of traditional general anesthesia. The treatment may also include laser technology, Smart Lipo,tm to restore skin elasticity in a patient that has a bit more laxity of the skin. To perform Safe Lipo, James E. Murphy, M.D. will numb the treatment area with local anesthesia. He will then create several tiny incisions, inserting a laser or cannula to access the troubled areas. The energy of the laser will liquefy the fat deposits, or the cannula will break up the fat cells, allowing James E. Murphy, M.D. to gently suction the cells out with a cannula. Because the fat cells are destroyed before removal, the treatment involves minimal impact to the surrounding tissues, decreasing bruising and swelling.
James E. Murphy, M.D. is an artist with body sculpting. Whether Smart Lipotm or Safe Lipo, you will love your results. James E. Murphy, M.D. can make a significant change in your body, with one treatment. Some patients may also do more than one treatment, to make changes in several stubborn areas.
