RISKS, COMPLICATIONS AND DANGERS OF LIPOSUCTION

RISKS WITH LIPOSUCTION:
Before going gaga over losing those pesky flabs,better consider the following risks and complications that range from mild to potentially life-threatening due to liposuction.
Skin Sag.
Removal of fat tissues in one area of the body at once may result in loose skin, depending on skin's elasticity.Stretch marks hint poor skin elasticity. So you might want tolook all over your body for stretch marks first before getting nicked during liposuction.
Uneven curves. Take-two's of this procedure often come from liposuction patients complaining about lumps and bumps fromtheir original surgery.
Liposuction Scars. Scars from liposuction are permanent. It isrecommended that to prevent scar tissue from darkening, they should be kept out of the sun.
Swelling. Depending on the recovery rate and are operated on,edema or swelling may last for weeks or even months after liposuction. Fluid pockets may form. They will need to be drained with a needle.
Infection. Most patients that underwent surgical procedures areprone to infections. Antibiotics are prescribed to take afterliposuction to prevent infection.
Burns. Ultrasonic assisted liposuction utilizes a probe thatmay become very hot and can cause burns.
Organ Damage from Injury. A probe under the skin through a small incision gives the possibility of puncturing an internal organ.
Fluid Imbalance. During liposuction, large amounts of fluidsare injected while some fluid is removed from the fat tissue.If not recognized fluid imbalance may result in pulmonary edema, or heart or kidney dysfunction.
Pulmonary Embolism. Small pieces of fat may crumb off during liposuction and go to the lungs as pulmonary emboli. This riskis greatest within the first 3 days.
Lidocaine Overdose. Too much lidocaine injected may result to toxicity.
Liposuction Deaths. For every 100,000 liposuction performed,the risk of death is around 3.These liposuction dangers could be lowered in rate if an expert surgeon will perform the operation. The health of the patient would also influence the severity of the risks.
Avoiding multiple procedures, general anesthesia, extracting large amount of fat could also contribute to a safer liposuction.
