Common & Minor Risks of Liposuction

The largest risk in liposuction Mexico is choosing a doctor who has not had the training or the experience to administer the procedure properly. It is significant to choose a certified plastic surgeon; one that is well versed in all body-contouring procedures, including liposuction.

The most common risks of liposuction are infection and a reaction to anesthesia. Infection is rare and usually results from using contaminated instruments.

As long as your doctor is aware of your complete medical history, the chance that you will have a reaction to anesthesia is low. Also, you can reduce the risk of infection after surgery by following your doctor’s instructions.

Liposuction has become one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world because most people believe that liposuction benefits outweigh its risks.

Common and Minor Risks

Asymmetrical Body Contour

Along with cellular trauma, excessive tissue extraction may also result in deformed body contours with lumpy and loose hanging skin. The weak skin elasticity, especially found in aged people, may further worsen the situation.

Skin Sensation Complications

Muscular spasm or numbness are two chief yet temporary issues probable after liposuction. Usually, general anesthesia triggers them. In the cases of pain, it hurts when the skin contracts or is touched. The numbness usually goes away as the anesthesia effect declines and the healing process sets in. In addition, massaging the area helps restore the normal blood circulation and eventually the sensation.

Skin Irregularities

Wrinkles and skin discoloration are the main problems associated mainly with liposuction employing macrocannulas. Individuals having stretch marks, cellulite, skin dimples, and poor dermal elasticity are often more vulnerable. Massaging the affected area boosts its blood circulation, which helps control the skin irregularities there.

Swelling

Post surgical swelling in the treated region (for example in thigh liposuction the veins there may swell up) and in ankles is a common problem due to the collection of inflammatory fluid there. The condition intensifies when the operated area is stitched, locking within the inflammatory elements. If the area is left open, then the anesthetic and the other excess body fluids can be easily drained and the soreness is restrained. Extracting the inflammatory fluid using a needle and wearing compression belts, help control swelling. The edema normally subsides within approximately 1-3 months of the surgery.

Scars, Bruising, and Hyper-Pigmentation

After liposuction, a scar measuring around 4-10mm long is inevitable. Patients, prone to heavy bleeding may even develop bruises. In addition, due to hyper-pigmentation the area surrounding the incision may turn dark.
