Lipo and Liposuction
If you are considering Liposuction or any procedure to slim your waistline and remove fat from stubborn areas, be sure that you do your homework first. Liposuction is often described as a safe and effective way to remove cellulite and improve your body’s physical appearance. One of the questions I commonly receive is “what are the side effects of Liposuction?”.
The following are potential side effects of liposuction:
- Significant skin sagging
- Severe burns (especially with laser assisted)
- Toxicity from the anesthesia (general or local)
- Scarring
- Bumpy or wavy appearance in skin
- Skin necrosis (death of tissue)
- Nerve damage
- Embolism
- Organ puncture
- Seroma (pooling of fluid)
Other problems with Liposuction can include:
- Not a permanent solution
- Does not address WHY you gained weight
- Very expensive
- Invasive procedure
- Cosmetic problems
- Return of the fat where you receive liposuction
“Remember, even the best -screened patients under the care of the best-trained and experienced physicians may experience complications…!”
