Liposuction Complications
How To Determine Liposuction Complication
Similar to all the surgical procedures, liposuction too can
result in complications during and after the surgery unless
the right precautions are handled carefully. Generally, liposuction
is mostly a procedure with the least complications. But, there
are also cases when the following types of complications would
occur as a single complication, or in combination:
Common Complications
1. The area of liposuction may get swollen due to fluid and
blood retention. In order to prevent this the liposuction
garment will be used to drain the fluid by applying pressure
on the area.
2. Infection may occur if you do not take care of it properly.
And if it ever occurs, it needs to be checked with high priority.
3. The skin over the liposuction area will lose its feeling.
In majority of the cases it returns after a few weeks, but
there are also times when it may take months to come back
to normal.
4. Sometimes the skin becomes lumpy post surgery. This happens
in especially when some amount of fat is left in between the
tissues. This complication may be corrected by repeating the
procedure and aiming at the remaining fat. It also can be
helped by wearing the liposuction garment which is designed
specifically to address this complication.
5. In most cases, bruising of skin occurs. This is simply
because the blood and fluid that gets accumulated under the
skin. This too can be helped by wearing the liposuction garment.
Rare Complications
The formation of blood clots would be a rare complication
that comes with a liposuction. This is usually formed when
the blood gets accumulated in an area where the cannula is
inserted for too long a time. Perforation is also a very possible
liposuction complication especially in the abdominal and bowel
areas. If you wish to avoid this danger, you should be careful
in choosing the surgeon who performs the procedure.
When large amounts of fat are being extracted, another danger
of complication might occur, which is shock. This is also
why large amounts of fat removal is highly contraindicated;
rather it is advised to have a series of liposuction procedure
over a period of time than having it all removed at one time
and risk shock.
Lidocaine, which is used as anesthetic may provoke another
type of liposuction complication. This compound is terribly
hazardous for the liver, particularly in people who consume
alcohol on a regular basis. There have been cases where death
has been linked to lidocaine use.
As long as there is a surgery, there is risk of complication.
Non-surgical alternatives such as passive
gymnastics are probably the best way to achieve slim and
toned body without a liposuction.
