Read on to learn more about the potential liposuction health risks you need to look out for! Liposuction exposes patients to the possible risk of a toxic reactions to local anesthesia that can cause nausea, dizziness and in rare cases heart conduction abnormalities that can be fatal. Liposuction if not performed with proper tumescent technique can cause bleeding as well.Then, one the fat is liquefied, the doctor will start to remove it with another medical device and that’s it! You will be on your way to see amazing results in a very few days. Keep in mind, the surgery doesn’t require hospitalization, general anesthesia and the recovery time is only one-week long. Like we said: It is a quick and easy surgery procedure perfect for everyone who is trying to look the best they possibly can.
So, the essential recovery time could be a bit longer. You’re required to be on the bed for complete rest. Also take some time off so you don’t have to engage in day to day activities. Liposuction hardly shows the big results immediately following the surgery. Moreover, it does take some recovery time for getting the maximum benefits. For that reason it’s vital, especially with your inner thigh liposuction surgery that you stay entirely off your feet and slowly recover from your post-operation shakes and hassles.
Things that are used to thin blood, manage the heart rate, manage cholesterol and other diseases may need to be stopped temporarily or changed to fit in with the liposuction. The risk of taking out too much fat can also occur and it is something that lies entirely in the hands of the doctor.
Embolism. This is also extremely rare and is lessened by early postoperative mobility so that blood does not have time to become stagnant in calf muscles. Fat embolism may occur when fat is loosened and enters the blood through blood vessels ruptured (broken) during liposuction. Pieces of fat get trapped in the blood vessels, gather in the lungs, or travel to the brain. The signs of pulmonary emboli (fat clots in the lungs) may be shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Pain and Discomfort: You should expect to have pain or discomfort similar to a feeling of having worked out too hard. Some of this may feel like a stabbing pain in the liposuctioned areas, and in adjacent areas. This can usually be managed by pain medications, and it generally lasts for a few weeks. Rarely, and in people with Fibromyalgia, or other forms of chronic pain syndrome, there can be a worsening of the patient’s baseline pain.
Chin liposuction is a form of plastic surgery that is sometimes chosen instead of a full face lift. Like all plastic surgery, it is an elective procedure designed to alter the physical appearance of a patient. While liposuction can be performed on many sections of the body, chin liposuction primarily focuses on the area beneath the chin. The surgeon will usually provide a comprehensive checklist for patients to follow before the procedure. This will include a list of medications that may or may not be taken.
If there is any question about the patient's ability to clot (such as if excessive bleeding has occurred after a tooth extraction or with menstrual periods) then more extensive clotting studies should be performed prior to the surgery. Liposuction can cause very serious blood clots in the legs. If these travel to the lungs, they can be deadly. Symptoms of blood clots in the legs include swelling, pain, and fever. The liposuction cannula is a weapon, and it has speared virtually every organ during liposuction.
Swelling: This is also a normal occurrence that occurs in every patient. Compression garments and post-operative massage help to minimize this, as well as reducing its duration to less than two months. Bruising: There will be bruising in many areas that are liposuctioned, as well as in adjacent or dependent areas. For example, people who have abdominal liposuction experience swelling and bruising in their genitalia. This is not because these areas are actually liposuctioned.
