Is Liposuction a High-Risk Procedure?

Liposuction has good weight loss and body shaping effects, but it also has certain risks, though not very significant. These risks are influenced by factors such as hospital qualifications and doctors' experience. Common risks include bleeding, uneven skin surface, and scar hyperplasia. To reduce the risks of liposuction, it is recommended to choose a reputable hospital. Here are some specific risks of liposuction:

1. Massive hemorrhage: Bleeding can occur during liposuction, especially massive hemorrhage. Liposuction surgery can easily lead to massive hemorrhage due to bacterial or viral infections, or insufficient medical skills of the attending physician. This may even result in sudden death of the patient.

2. Uneven skin surface: Liposuction requires precise control of the amount of fat removed. Excessive fat removal can lead to uneven skin surface. Since the distribution of fat in the human body is not particularly uniform, doctors who are not skilled in controlling the amount of fat removed may cause this symptom. It is often accompanied by obvious bumps on the skin surface, which can significantly affect the external appearance.

3. Scar hyperplasia: Scar hyperplasia can be very unsightly for girls who value their appearance, so it is important to pay attention to wound care. Surgical incisions usually heal completely within a week. However, if the patient does not maintain a good lifestyle after surgery and does not pay attention to personal hygiene, there is a high possibility that the wound will scar and result in scar hyperplasia.
