What Are The Potential Complications with Liposuction?
While liposuction is considered extremely safe, complications are possible and should be considered before deciding to pursue a procedure. Most complications associated with liposuction are aesthetic and do not affect your health, such as resulting looseness in the skin or irregularities. Other potential issues involve scarring at or below the skin, bleeding, infection, sensory nerve problems, or injury to deeper structures. While extremely rare, it is also possible to have reactions to the medications that are used that could be potentially life-threatening.
