Risk
Risk and ComplicationsAs with any major surgery, liposuction does carry some risk, such as bleeding and a reaction to anesthesia if patients are not screened thouroughly.
Specific Risk to Liposuction
Patient dissatisfaction: The most common complication that i see is. Many patient come to me and state that they are not pleased with their previous surgeon because of contour irregularities. Your skin may appear bumpy, wavy or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity and unusual healing. These changes may be permanent. Damage beneath the skin from the cannula might give the skin a permanent peau d’ orange appearance.
Fluid accumulation: Temporary pockets of fluid (seromas) can form under the skin. This fluid may need to be drained with a needle.
Numbness: You may feel temporary or permanent numbness in the affected area. Temporary nerve irritation also is possible.
Infection: Skin infections are rare but possible. .
Visceral penetration: Its a complication that we saw maybe more than 20 years ago as surgeons were not as experienced. Rarely , a cannula penetrates too deeply may puncture an internal organ. This may require emergency surgical repair. This particular complication is virtually impossible with Vaser lipo.
Fat embolism: Destruction of vasculature may leave open holes through wich pieces of loosened fat may break away and become trapped in a blood vessel and gather in the lungs or travel to the brain. A fat embolism is a medical emergency. This particular complication is virtually impossible with Vaser lipo.
Kidney and heart problems: Shifts in fluid levels as fluids are being injected and suctioned out can cause potentially life-threatening kidney, heart and lung problems only when patients are not screened correctly.
Lidocaine toxicity: Lidocaine is an anesthetic often administered with fluids injected during liposuction to help manage pain. Although generally safe, in rare circumstances, lidocaine toxicity can occur, causing serious heart and central nervous system problems.
