SenzaLipo is a unique form of tumescent liposuction that Dr. Rasi created to help reduce the risk of complications and downtime commonly associated with liposuction. In addition to being able to treat large areas, the SenzaLipo method allows Dr. Rasi to sculpt areas that are small and require a detailed eye, creating the best results possible.
The SenzaLipo procedure is much safer and gentler than traditional liposuction, so general anesthesia is unnecessary. The procedure is performed using a local anesthetic, allowing the patient to remain awake and reducing the risk of complications and tissue disruption.
SenzaLipo is considered minimally invasive. The handheld device used during the procedure is small, making it possible to remove fat from the nooks and crannies that are typically difficult to remove with other forms of liposuction. The smaller instruments and gentle treatment are less traumatic for the body, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising.
You may be a great candidate for SenzaLipo if you have pockets of unwanted fat that will not respond to diet and exercise. SenzaLipo is a customizable procedure that can be performed on men and women of any skin type. Ideal candidates are healthy and have realistic expectations regarding their results.
There are no weight requirements for this procedure; SenzaLipo can be performed on patients of all shapes and sizes with low to high body mass indexes (BMIs).
SenzaLipo enhances natural body contours and reveals a more flattering shape, but it is not intended to be a weight-loss treatment and doesn’t remove a substantial amount of fat. Instead, it fine-tunes trouble spots by removing small, localized fat deposits that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
While some skin tightening can occur after SenzaLipo, it is not considered a skin removal procedure. The best candidates for this procedure have good skin quality. If you don’t have firm skin, your SenzaLipo results may be hidden by empty-looking skin after the procedure.
If you’re interested in addressing loose skin, we offer skin tightening and body contouring treatments with BTL Exilis Ultra. This treatment can be used on the abdomen with SenzaLipo to smooth issues like crinkling skin around the belly button.
Some specific circumstances that indicate a patient should not undergo this type of liposuction include cardiovascular issues, hypertension, diabetes, and abdominal muscle laxity or separation (diastasis recti).
Dr. Rasi will review your medical history and expectations in an initial consultation to ensure that SenzaLipo is the right treatment for you. He will create a customized treatment plan designed to give you the best results if he determines you’re a suitable candidate.
During the SenzaLipo procedure, only local tumescent anesthesia is needed to numb the targeted areas. Dr. Rasi uses a small cannula to numb the fat layer through a tiny incision in the skin.
After the numbing has taken effect, he uses another specially powered cannula designed for sculpting to remove fat precisely where needed. Compared to traditional liposuction, SenzaLipo is unique because it utilizes a smaller, less invasive cannula that gently removes fat tissue.
Stitches are not required because the incisions are small enough to heal beautifully on their own.
After your SenzaLipo treatment, you will need to wear a compression garment to support the skin and underlying tissue for several days. Resting post-treatment is recommended to allow the body to heal correctly. Most patients take a few days off to relax, and they resume work and normal activities as they begin to feel less sore.
Dr. Rasi will provide you with post-procedure instructions to ensure you heal comfortably and quickly.
For most patients, this minimally invasive liposuction procedure takes between two and three hours. How long it takes is ultimately determined by how many areas you have treated.
Initial results with SenzaLipo may be seen a week after treatment, with continued improvement occurring over the next several months. Final results are revealed between three and six months following your treatment.

Yes! Our procedure removes the treated fat cells permanently. Existing cells targeted for removal will not repopulate. When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand rather than multiply. By eliminating the fat cell membrane, we remove fat storage units from the body.
As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with the SenzaLipo procedure. Potential side effects include bruising, scarring, infection or a deep itching sensation. If any complications arise, please contact Senza Aesthetic Medicine right away.
No, it does not.
While traditional liposuction and SenzaLipo both reduce fat, SenzaLipo is the superior treatment because it allows the procedure to be done more gently under a local anesthetic. In addition, SenzaLipo requires smaller incisions compared to traditional liposuction. Smaller incisions mean less scarring, which means a quicker recovery and more aesthetically pleasing results.
