Is liposuction safe and is there any danger? Liposuction is a very mature surgery, and liposuction technology has been developed for more than 100 years, from the early “dry liposuction method” to the commonly used “wet liposuction method”, the equipment and technology of liposuction are constantly being improved, the surgery is less and less painful, and after countless verification and improvement, the safety and reliability are getting higher and higher. For regular hospitals and good doctors, the probability of risk is still quite low. Sufficiently advanced medical technology and rich experience are the best guarantee for the surgery! On the contrary, it can bring immeasurable harm to the patient. Liposuction belongs to the plastic surgery category of body sculpting surgery, which requires a particularly high level of skill. From my personal point of view, I believe that liposuction is not a minor surgery, especially the extensive liposuction, which is actually a more traumatic surgery to the body, and requires us to do a good job before, during and after the surgery. Most people think that there is no risk in liposuction, or they have heard some information from hearsay and think that liposuction is not high risk. In fact, otherwise, if the doctor who gives you liposuction is not qualified and experienced enough, or if the intra-operative and post-operative care is not proper, then you will face the following three levels of risk after surgery! 1. Primary risk: Damage to skin tissue, scarring and pigmentation; liposuction needle injury to lymph and blood vessels in the tissue, skin edema and bleeding; skin tissue injury, temporary neuritis, skin numbness and pain; 2. Intermediate risk: Uneven liposuction, uneven skin after liposuction; fat extraction in the superficial layer of the skin and even damage to the subdermal vascular network, resulting in skin necrosis; damage to nerves during surgery The numbness and dullness of the skin can be caused by nerve damage during the operation; 3. Serious risk The inadvertent breakage of blood vessels during the operation can lead to the inflow of tiny fat cells into the bloodstream along the broken blood vessels, resulting in fat embolism syndrome; poor venous blood flow, destruction of microcirculation, hypercoagulation of blood, and damage to the endothelium of blood vessels, resulting in deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Summary: So, in conclusion, liposuction, is not as simple as some beauty seekers think, it is an easy-to-learn but difficult-to-refine technology. In recent years, many non-plastic surgeons have started to switch to the plastic surgery industry, and the earliest technique they started to practice at the beginning of their career was liposuction. Some doctors believe that liposuction and fat grafting is a very good technique to start with. I’d like to borrow a phrase from my teacher here, which is, “You can do it all at once, but you can’t do it right. I hope that you can choose the right doctor in the right hospital when you have the surgery and get the results you are satisfied with.
