Yes, Liposuction can potentially cause a seroma, which is a buildup of fluid that can occur after surgical procedures. This complication arises when lymphatic vessels are damaged or disrupted during the surgery, leading to fluid accumulation in the tissue. While seromas are not very common, they can occur and may require drainage or further treatment if they develop. Proper post-operative care and monitoring can help minimize this risk.
There are a number of possible unfortunate side effects after liposuction, including infection, embolisms, visceral perforations, swelling, and seroma, to name a few.

The results of a liposuction immediately following surgery can cause the upper abdomen skin to look wrinkly. Most of the time a liposuction provides great-looking results.
The most common complication that arises from having a seroma is the repeated visits required to have the seroma drained. You may also find your initial recovery period delayed or even more difficult than expected.
"The most prominent risk of liposuction, according to a website designed to answer questions on the matter, is that too much liposuction in one sitting, or the combination of this procedure with others, may cause damage or trauma to the body."
Warm compresses can help improve blood flow and promote drainage for a seroma. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling and inflammation. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice on the most appropriate treatment for a seroma.
Abdominal liposuction does not directly cause breast growth. However, weight loss from liposuction can lead to changes in body proportions and fat distribution, which may make the breasts appear larger relative to the rest of the body. Additionally, hormonal factors and individual body responses can also play a role in breast size changes, but these are not a direct result of the liposuction procedure itself.
