You can do this operation if:

• Do not have excessive skin.
• Has good skin elasticity.
• Have good muscle shape.
• Have fat deposits that will not be lost with diet or exercise.

Some people who should avoid liposuction surgery are people who:

• Have a weak immune system.
• Overweight.
• Have loose skin.
• Have a history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or seizures.
• Take medications that can increase the risk of bleeding, such as blood thinners.

Are there any side effects of liposuction surgery?

Liposuction is a serious operation with various possible side effects. This operation can have both short and long term effects on the health of the body. Ask your doctor to describe all potential side effects and complications that may occur.

Side effects that may occur during surgery include:

• Injuries due to internal organs being punctured by the suction device.
• Anesthetic complications
• Burns from equipment, such as ultrasound probes
• Nerve damage.
• Shock.

Just like any other surgery that uses anesthesia, liposuction also carries a risk of death even though the case is almost very rare. The risk of death from liposuction is possible if the type of anesthetic used is lidocaine, which is then mixed into intravenous fluids. This is called the tumescent liposuction technique.

Lidocaine causes the heart rate to decrease so that blood does not pump around the body. In addition, large amounts of fluid injections can cause fluid buildup in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary edema. This condition makes it difficult for you to breathe which causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen.

The side effects caused by lidocaine can cause emergency conditions and even 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 lumps.
• Infection.
• Hematoma (bleeding under the skin).
• Seroma (fluid leaking under the skin).
• Edema (swelling).
• Skin necrosis (death of skin cells).
• Reactions to anesthetics and other drugs.
• Heart and kidney problems.

Risks during recovery include:

• Problems with body shape or contour.
• 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 surgery permanently removes fat cells from targeted areas 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 liver or heart.

Some people experience permanent nerve damage and changes in sensation to the skin.

Liposuction surgery is not a way to lose weight. This surgery carries serious risks and possible complications, so it's important to speak with your doctor before considering it.
