Just like other procedures, there are some possible risks associated with liposuction. Some of them are:

Contour irregularities

The uneven removal of fat can lead to bumpy, wavy or withered skin. It can also abrupt the healing and lead to poor skin elasticity. In addition, the cannula used for suction can cause damage beneath the skin, which can lead to permanent changes.

Fluid accumulation

Pockets of fluid called seromas may accumulate under the skin. Your healthcare provider will have to remove this fluid by draining it through the needle.

Numbness

This surgery may lead to temporary or permanent numbness in the area where it is performed. You can also feel nerve irritation for a short time after the surgery.

Infection

An internal puncture can cause severe skin infection. It is rare but life-threatening. If the cannula is inserted too deep into the organ, it can puncture it. That's why it is always advised to go to a trained physician or surgeon.

Fat embolism

During the surgery, some fat pieces may break, get trapped in blood vessels, accumulate in the lung, or reach the brain. It is an emergency and should be attended to by doctors immediately.

Lidocaine toxicity

Lidocaine is given during the liposuction to help ease the pain. However, in rare cases, you may have lidocaine toxicity, leading to heart and nervous system problems.

Kidney and heart problems

Since the fluid is sucked out or injected into the body, there are fluid shifts. It can cause various heart and kidney problems.

Like so many medical procedures, liposuction has some mild or severe risks. That's why it would be best to visit an experienced and well-trained surgeon to mitigate the risk of complications.

So if you want an experienced and qualified doctor for liposuction, consult with Dr Ashit Shah at The Aesthetica. He is highly regarded for providing one of the best fat reduction treatments in Ahmedabad.

Your surgeon will help you determine which lipo technique is best for you based on your treatment goal and body type. Some of the types of liposuction are:

• Tumescent Liposuction: In this technique, a sterile solution is injected into the area, making it swollen. Then a small cut is made, and the fat is sucked out through a cannula.
• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: In this procedure, a metal rod is inserted, which emits ultrasonic energy. It breaks down the fats, which are then easily removed.
• Laser-assisted liposuction: In this technique, a laser fibre is inserted into the area that emits high-intensity laser light, emulsifying the fat deposit, which is then removed through a cannula.
• Power-assisted liposuction: In this procedure, a cannula that moves to-and-fro rapidly is used, creating a vibration that allows easy removal of tough fibre.

During the liposuction, the doctor will administer anaesthesia to ease the pain. They will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen level throughout the process. After the procedure, you will have to spend a few hours at the clinic or hospital so the surgeon can monitor your condition.

You can expect temporary pain, bruising and swelling. It will take some time for complete recovery. In case you notice any abnormality, you must immediately consult your doctor.
