Liposuction Complication

Below are some common complications seen during Liposuction:

• Due to the movement of is Liposuction tool, some bruising may takes place which, although painful in the short term, fades within a few weeks time.
• Movements are generally not restricted.
• As with any major surgery, liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding, infection and an unwanted reaction to the anesthesia. And like all surgeries, complications vary depending on how large a procedure you're having. If the surgeon is working on larger surfaces of your body or doing other procedures during the same operation, the risk of complications increases.
• surgical complication is defined as any undesirable result of surgery.
• Deaths related to liposuction surgery can happen for a number of reasons: blood clot, perforation of the abdominal wall or bowels, shock and hemodilution (blood dilution), and possibly excess amounts of lidocaine.
  cardiac arrest and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias, permanent nerve damage, brain damage due to lack of oxygen under general anesthesia, and seizures.
• Thrombophlebitis - inflammation of the veins (not the same as thrombosis) around the inside of your knee and inner part of your upper thigh if these areas are treated, should settle after a few weeks
  disruption of the fluid balance of the body due to fluid being injected and sucked out, very rarely causes breathing problems and can be fatal
• Swelling or edema during liposuction
  Swelling or edema is a very common problem that may occur after liposuction. In some cases, swelling may persist for weeks or months after liposuction. This is not uncommon and can be considered part of the healing process in liposuction.
• Lidocaine Toxicity - With superwet and tumescent liposuction, a lot of fluid containing lidocaine is infused into the tissue. The body may react to the large amount of lidocaine being used.
• There is also the possibility of things like blood clots, loss of fluids, bruising, scarring, skin numbness as well as pigmentation discolorations.
• Infection: May occur after any surgery including liposuction. Some physicians prescribe antibiotics to all patients undergoing liposuction but other physicians do not. It is very important to keep the area(s) clean but even if you do, infections may sometimes occur from the surgery.
• Skin Irregularities and Depressions
  Significant irregularities and depressions of the skin are frequently the result of the surgeon's inattention to detail.
  Patient selection- Individuals with poor skin tone, medical problems, obesity, or unrealistic expectations of what may be achieved with liposuction, may not be candidates for liposuction.
• The surgeon should be aware of methods to prevent the various complications and the treatments available.
• These include superficial irregularities of the skin, seromas, hematomas, focal skin necrosis, allergic reactions to drugs, visible or disfiguring scars, discoloration of the skin.
