Every surgical procedures have risk : bleeding and infection. Both could be prevented by doing liposuction in a strict sterile procedure  and do the presurgery blood check. Local tumescent anaesthesia greatly reduced the complications. This anaesthesia was develop by Dr Klein (USA dermatologist), who revolutioned the liposuction anaesthesia technique. Now tumescent liposuction is one of the most safe cosmetic surgical procedures .To reduce the  liposuction risk procedures, you need a less aggresive approach and good surgeon, ask him/her about his/her training, how many years they do liposuction , how many cases they did and the complications they had.

What the doctor do when surgery?

First the doctor mark the skin with pen, and then planned the incision site for the cannules insertion, and  give  small amount of local anaesthesia injection in the opening. After washed the skin with antiseptic solition ( e.g. Betadine) and put sterile drapes, the skin incised 3-4 mm to insert the anaestehsia needle and distributed the tumescent solution. After wait for 15-20 minutesred , the liposuction done from the same incision site, until desired contour achieved. So the skin incision is very small (3-4 mm) in several area.

What is the possible complications?

The most possible complications are  iregularities, usually this happened because the surgeons didn't work well or the heal not uniformerly. This can be corrected 2-3 months later. The  other complication is infection, which 100% could be prevented. Other complication is death, very very seldom, always happended because of anaesthetic death, not because the surgical technique. To make the liposuction very safe, don't do too much in one setting, better to do several times and safe after 1-2 months interval. Death also occurred  when liposuction was combine with other surgery, but this also very, very rare.
