Developed specifically to provide a more rounded silhouette, Three Dimensional Superficial Lipo-Sculpture - or 3D-SLS, as Laurence Kirwan has named it -contours the superficial layers of fat below the skin. Conventional liposuction, on the other hand, removes fat only from the deeper layers, and remaining fat may fall into rolls and bumps after the surgery.

"Three Dimensional Superficial Lipo-Sculpture means that I can remove fat from all layers and allows me to really sculpt the body instead of simply reducing the volume of fat", explains Laurence Kirwan. "The result is not just a reduction in volume of fat but a shape which replicates the delicate contouring usually associated with the buttocks, hips and thighs. It also leaves the skin with a firmer texture."

Because Laurence Kirwan performs 3D-SLS using the super-wet technique (SWT) - involving the injection of anaesthetic and saline to the same volume as the estimated fat removal, instead of the more common tumescent system -patients are assured of safer, more comfortable surgery. It is also a more gentle procedure which reduces bruising and bleeding.

The ...
... technique can be applied to all parts of the body and sensible weight loss after surgery will enhance the effects. In some cases, patients with a moderate amount of loose skin also benefit from contraction and tightening of the skin. Providing the patient is in good health, age is not a limiting factor with this procedure.

On average, it will take a little over three months for the true new contours created by 3D-SLS to be apparent but some 60% of the swelling will have disappeared about three weeks after this procedure. Skin and fat will contract and re-contour for up to a year following surgery.

Three Dimensional Superficial Lipo-Sculpture can safely remove six pounds of fat at a time, with speedy recovery and return to most daily activities within one week. Larger amounts of fat removal may prolong recovery and elimination of over 10 pounds requires careful patient monitoring in a hospital setting for 24 hours following surgery.
Laurence Kirwan's paper on the subject of 3D-SLS was published in 1997 in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (USA).
