Liposuction risks

The websites that promote liposuction usually do not list the risk factors involved for the procedure. The websites that do list the risks are the consumer guides that inform the public of these risks:

• Infections- which may be a risk after any surgery, but may be prevented.
• Embolism- loose fat entering the blood stream, which could be fatal.
• Visceral Perforations- which is damage to organs during procedure
• Seroma-pooling of serum from your blood in the areas treated
• Nerve damage- “paresthesias” or loss of sensation in the area treated
• Edema - swelling caused by large amount of fluid in cells or tissues
• Skin Necrosis- the treated area could become necrotic and promote discoloration
• Fluid Imbalance- which could cause heart, kidney, lung problems
• Toxicity from Anesthesia
• deaths related to the liposuction procedure
