What are the dangers of liposuction surgery?

The pursuit of beauty is everyone's nature. However, in this process, we must also be wary of some hazards and risks that may be caused by some methods. This time we will briefly introduce to you the dangers of liposuction surgery. Next, let us take a look at the experts' guidance and provide us with reference information.

Secret 1: Anesthesia and injection of swelling fluid are required before liposuction

According to experts, liposuction involves cutting a small hole at the surgical site, inserting a liposuction tube into the fat layer, and then sucking out the fat. There are many methods for liposuction, including negative pressure, resonance, and ultrasound. Before liposuction, general or local anesthesia is performed, and the same amount of swelling fluid as that used for liposuction is injected. Experts say that the swelling fluid is mainly composed of sodium bicarbonate, saline and anesthetics. It can reduce the amount of bleeding during surgery and separate subcutaneous fat from some tissues to facilitate liposuction.

Secret 2: Liposuction is not for weight loss and your weight will not drop dramatically

"Liposuction is not suitable for people who are obese all over the body. It is used to improve the body curves." Experts say that if there are still some parts that cannot be reduced through a balanced diet and proper exercise, liposuction can be used to reshape them. There will not be a noticeable weight loss after liposuction, "because fat is oily and lighter. But you do look a lot thinner to the naked eye." And the more liposuction is not necessarily better. Experts say that the amount of liposuction each time should be controlled at 2000-3000 ml, and should not exceed the safe limit of 5000 ml. The more liposuction is done, the greater the risk of the surgery.

Secret 3: The face and legs are prone to uneven shaping

Experts say that liposuction on the face and legs must be done with caution. These areas do not have much fat and are not easy to shape. If the technique is not good enough, liposuction may easily result in uneven areas.

Secret 4: Liposuction surgery has indications and contraindications

People with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, thrombophlebitis or drug allergies and coagulation disorders are not suitable for liposuction surgery. Women who are menstruating or pregnant, as well as those over 55 years old and minors are not suitable for liposuction. For children and adolescents who are in the growth and development stage, liposuction surgery will interfere with the normal fat development in their bodies.

Secret 5: Why liposuction can cause death

Why does liposuction cause death? Experts say that in addition to severe skin necrosis that can cause death, the most dangerous complications of liposuction are fat embolism and massive bleeding. Fat thrombosis is a large amount of fat that enters the blood vessels and enters the human blood circulation, thereby blocking the pulmonary artery and causing lung obstruction, leading to difficulty breathing, failure and death. "According to statistics, the mortality rate caused by liposuction is one in tens of thousands, and it has a lot to do with the doctor's experience and qualifications." Experts say that experienced doctors are very familiar with the distribution of blood vessels in the human body and will try to avoid them during surgery to prevent accidents.

Experts remind: Before surgery, you should understand the risks of the surgery in detail, have a comprehensive physical examination, and fully communicate the surgical plan with your doctor. The surgery will then be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, anesthetized by a professional anesthesiologist, and performed in a well-equipped, formal hospital institution to minimize the risks of the surgery.

The above information allows us to understand the dangers and side effects of liposuction surgery. In fact, no matter what kind of surgery, there will be certain risks. When we choose to undergo this surgery, we should understand what consequences it will lead to, think clearly about the possible harm it may cause, and make the minimum mental preparation so as to avoid causing bad results.
