At Avenue Plastic Surgery, we have been able to help enhance the appearance of numerous patients throughout the greater Melbourne area. One of the most popular options for achieving great results is liposuction, an aesthetic fat reduction surgery that can sculpt and contour a patient’s body, giving patients a trimmer and slimmer frame. Liposuction is not without side effects, however. We’d like to look at some of the most common side effects of the surgery right now so that patients have a realistic view of what liposuction entails. Are side effects common after liposuction?Too much liposuction in one day should be avoided, as should the combination of the surgery with other medical procedures. Even before one travels down the liposuction route, he or she should first try less invasive measures to achieve the desired end result. Diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes can be safe and healthy - not to mention less expensive - avenues to an improved physical appearance. So before committing to a serious procedure, consider all the drawbacks that could potentially result from that decision. And, if you still want to proceed, be your own advocate in ensuring a safe and effective treatment.
However, you should keep in mind that you will normally get what you pay for, and, the more experience the surgeon offers, the better the result will likely turn out. Finally, death is a very real scenario during surgery. There are several factors that can cause a fatality even during an elective cosmetic surgery that seems minor to an outsider.
Other potential laser liposuction side effects can arise if you undergo too many surgeries-or remove too much fat-at one time. You should not undergo more than one liposuction procedure at a time. In addition, it is not a good idea to have too much fat removed during a single procedure.
Liposuction is a very common body contouring procedure that involves the mobilization and removal of local fat deposits under the surface of the skin. Liposuction is considered a surgical procedure, and while it may involve a certain number of side effects, major complications are extremely rare. But first, let’s clarify the difference between a side effect and a complication.
Large seromas may need aspiration and drainage to avoid infection. Toxicity of the local anesthetic lidocaine can occur, especially if large areas are treated. Excessive damage to the skin or tissues beneath the skin due to a sharp instrument, laser or ultrasound. Skin necrosis may occur if there is loss of blood supply to the skin.
Using a compression garment or bandages will depend on the location and size of the treated area. How long does it take to recover? The good news is that liposuction is an outpatient procedure so you’ll be able to go home the same day. As for how quickly you’ll bounce back, that’s a tricky question. Many doctors recommend resting at home for about a week before resuming normal activities or returning to work.
However, you need to be prepared for the worst. Also, liposuction is not a replacement for a good diet and plenty of exercise. Liposuction is designed to get rid of fat deposits that haven’t disappeared after a good diet and exercise. Therefore, for liposuction to be effective, you have to be in good shape and healthy. Otherwise, the surgery may refuse to operate on you.
When Is Liposuction Not an Option? Just as surgeons are required to explain the side effects and risks of complication to their patients, they also have a responsibility to refuse surgery when they think the risk of a complication is too high. Drs. Gary D. Breslow and Jordan P. Farkas have successfully performed liposuction on countless patients from New Jersey and beyond " feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions.
