| Hesitation and Risk of the Surgery | Liposuction procedures are normally safe in case if: patients are carefully selected, the operating facility is properly equipped and the physician is sufficiently trained.
Your surgeon, at least, should have basic accredited surgical education including the special training in body contouring. Also, even though many body-contouring procedures are performed outside the hospital location, be certain that your surgeon has been granted privileges to perform liposuction at an accredited hospital.
Your should take your charge of your doctor having advanced surgical skills to perform procedures that involve the removal of a large amount of fat (more than 5 liters). Ask your doctor about his or her patients who underwent the similar procedures and what their results were. In addition, more extensive liposuction procedures require gentle post-care. Find out how your surgeon plans to check your health condition directly after the procedure.
Nevertheless, it's important to bear in mind that even though a well-trained surgeon and immaculate facility can improve your prospects of having a good result, there is no guarantee. Complications, though they are exclusion, can and do happen. Risks enlarge if a greater number of areas are treated at the same time, or if the operative sites are bigger in size. Extraction of a large amount of fat and fluid may have a need of longer operating times than it may be required for smaller operations.
The combination of these factors can create greater risks for infection, hindrances in healing, the formation of fat clots or blood clots, which may migrate to the lungs and cause death; excessive fluid loss, which can lead to shock or fluid accumulation that must be drained; friction burns or other damage to the skin or nerves or perforation injury to the vital organs; and hostile drug reactions.
There are also points to consider with the newer techniques. For example, in UAL, the heat from the ultrasound device used to liquefy the fat cells may cause injury to the skin or deeper tissues. Also, you should be conscious that even though UAL has been performed successfully on several thousand people worldwide, the long-term effects of ultrasound energy on the body are not yet known.
In the tumescent and super-wet techniques, the anesthetic fluid that is injected may cause lidocaine toxicity (if the solution's lidocaine content is too high), or the set of fluid in the lungs (if too much fluid is applied). The scars from liposuction are small and deliberately placed to be concealed from view. On the other hand, imperfections in the final appearance are not exclusion after lipoplasty. The skin surface may be irregular, asymmetric or even "baggy," especially in the older patients. Numbness and pigmentation changes may also occur. In this case, additional surgery may be strongly recommended.
