What are the risks and adverse events of Liposuction?

Since 1980s we have alternative to liposuction under general anesthesia. Dr. Klein introduced Tumescent Liposuction in early 1980s. Tumescent Liposuction is, in fact, a diluted numbing medication called Lidocaine, infiltrated in the targeted area. The patients can go through liposuction without being under by general anesthesia.

general Anesthesia was a major health risk for patients going through liposuction. Since then the risks have significantly rdeduced as a result. More and more liposuction experts using this method over general anesthesia where patient is awake and would not need to be exposed to massive risk of general anesthesia medications.

Dr. Ray states (a Liposuction Expert at Elite Medical Aesthetics in Rocklin California). he added: I believe there will be more patients willing to go for liposuction if they have knowledge about liposuction under local anesthesia while awake.

In response to the question “How Dangerous Liposuction is?’ I must say it is very safe. over the recent years of performing liposuction, we have not seen any adverse events. Dr. Ray added.

What are the other Risks of Liposuction:

Infection, pulmonary embolism, and perforation are some other adverse events reported after liposuction. all these would be avoided by local anesthesia because the risks will be minimized.

Quicker recovery after local anesthesia, patient will be walking out of office and chance for clot formation and pulmonary embolism would be minimized.

When a patient is awake then  the physician would be able to avoid that by being more care careful and proper method. This would help to avoid any potential risk of perforation.

With the expertise and proper technique, infection rate goes done to nil. In fact infection, fat embolism, puncture, and lidocaine toxicity are serious but must not occur if the physician is experienced and follow proper protocols. Infection is a risk but following proper protocols, the data at Elite Medical Aesthetics in Rocklin California shows no risk of infection for patient going through liposuction. article about infection
