Are there any side effects from liposuction surgery?
Liposuction is a serious surgery with various possible side effects. This operation can have short-term and long-term effects on the health of the body. Ask your doctor to explain all potential side effects and complications that might occur.
Side effects that may occur during surgery include:
- Injury because the internal organs are pierced by a vacuum.
- Anesthetic complications
- Burns from equipment, such as ultrasound probes
- Nerve damage.
- Shock.
Just like other surgical procedures that use anesthesia, liposuction also has a risk of death even though the case is almost certainly very rare. The risk of death from liposuction may occur if the type of anesthetic used is lidocaine, and then mixed into the infusion fluid. This is called the tumescent liposuction technique.
Lidocaine causes the heart rate to decrease so that blood is not pumped throughout the body. In addition, large amounts of liquid injections can cause fluid buildup in the lungs resulting in pulmonary edema. This condition makes it difficult for you to breathe, causing a decrease in the amount of oxygen.
Side effects caused by lidocaine can cause emergency conditions to death.
Side effects that may occur immediately after the procedure include:
- Blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- Deposition of a lot of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
- Fat clots.
- Infection.
- Hematoma (bleeding under the skin).
- Seroma (liquid leaking under the skin).
- Edema (swelling).
- Skin necrosis (death of skin cells).
- Reaction to anesthesia and other drugs.
- Heart and kidney problems.
Risks during recovery include:
- Problems with the shape or contour of the body.
- Wavy or wavy skin.
- Numbness, bruising, pain, swelling and pain.
- Infection.
- Fluid imbalance.
- Scar.
- Skin color changes.
Long-term side effects of liposuction
The long-term side effects of liposuction surgery vary. This operation permanently removes fat cells from the targeted area of the body. So if you gain weight, fat will still be stored in various areas of the body. New fat can appear deeper under the skin, and can be dangerous if it grows around the heart or heart.
Some people experience nerve damage and permanent changes in skin sensations.
Liposuction surgery is not a way to lose weight. This operation has a serious risk and possible complications, so it's important to talk to your doctor before considering it.
