Is Liposuction a Safe Procedure?

Liposuction is a relatively safe and common cosmetic surgery. There are certain dangers and risks for complications just as there are with any other type of surgery.

  1. Excessive

    • Excessive lipsuction is not healthy. Patients who have excessive liposuction usually suffer from serious self image issues. If a patient experiences headaches, vomiting, bruising and swelling after surgery, then it has become excessive.

    Minor Complications

    • The minor complications of liposuction include skin irregularities and depressions. Rashes frequently appear where liposuction has been performed, and will get better with time. These conditions do not usually lead to serious medical consequences.

    Mental Issues

    • One aspect that may lead to classifying liposuction as unsafe can be if the patient has unrealistic expectations. Patients may think that liposuction is the answer to all of their image issues and be let down when the surgery is over. This can lead to depression and frustration.

    Potential

    • Liposuction does have potentially serious consequences. Blood clots are sometimes a result of liposuction and can be deadly. Liposuction can also lead to extreme pulmonary edema which is a serious condition.

    Anesthesia

    • Anesthesia can be the most dangerous aspect of liposuction. Systematic anesthesia is considered to be more dangerous than local, as it makes it easier to administer excessive levels.
