Liposuction

An embolism is one of the worst complication; either an embolism of the lungs or even the brain. Other complications include damage and/or puncture to internal organs, as the procedure is a blind one.

== == Hi, I am currently experiencing a significant amount of swelling in my lower legs, ankles, and especially feet. I went to a medical spa and had a lymphatic massage which seemed to temporarily alleviate some of the swelling. However, within a few hours the swelling was back. I was sleeping with my legs elevated, but I would wake with severly swollen eyes. History: I am 10 days post-op and the swelling seems to be getting worse. This was my second lipo (first was 10yrs ago). The first lipo was lower ab and outer thighs. I had severe pain and slow recovery, but minimal swelling w/that surgery. This time I had upper and lower ab, flanks, and inner thighs. My pain was minimal and I was up the same day, but after one week there was a sudden onset of swelling. I contacted my surgeon and I was advised that due to the volume of lipo that was removed, 5 liters, swelling is fairly common and there was less likeliness of swelling w/the first lipo as less than one liter was removed. His advice was to stay in bed for a day or two and drink plenty of fluids. He proceeded to say that I may be over doing it for having large volume lipo. Hope this helps.

Risks for the blood test are minimal, but may include slight bleeding from the venipuncture site, fainting or feeling lightheaded after blood is drawn, or blood accumulating under the puncture site (hematoma).

Facial liposuction can be used together with or instead of mentoplasty to improve the patient's profile. In particular, removal of fatty tissue below the chin can make a receding chin look larger or more prominent.

Liposuction to the chin is safe. Unlike other facial procedures it also results in minimal scaring.

Male liposuction has become increasingly popular but still more women opt for this procedure then men. Men will chose this procedure commonly to fix love handles and fat deposits.

Mini liposuction differs as it uses local anaesthetic. It aims to remove the little bits of fat left on your body that diets or exercise won't remove.

The cost would be based on the specifics of your case. Your geographic location will also effect the cost.

The average cost of liposuction starts around $4000, however price should not be the only consideration. You need to find a reputable doctor and thoroughly check out their references as it could end up costing much more if it isn't done properly.

All surgeries imply a risk of life, even the simplest one. The advances in surgical technologies and techniques have reduced greatly the risks but thre are still cases of fatalities caused by unexpected complications.

The death rate from complications related to liposuction is about 1 in 5,000, although the actual death risk when liposuction is performed by a good doctor is somewhat minimal.

The death rate within the first 30 days of gastric bypass is normally quoted to be at about 1 in 250. The long term risk of death is considerably less than the long term risk of severe obesity.

Sure. It's expensive, but you may end up paying with your life, healthy, nice contours, and quality-of-life because liposuction removes adipose cells that are part of one's healthy, normal make-up. The removed cells will stay gone, but the remaining fat cells in the body will grow larger. Sometimes people get huge arms or fat faces after having liposuction to their legs or torso or they are left with loose skin where the fat was removed. Many people try to fix this and pay for more surgery, losing even more work time, but the most tragic of all is that some people are disabled or dead due to liposuction.

You can get liposuction scars by having liposuction surgery. Liposuction scars are not generally a concern for people as they are usually always minimal. If you get scars from the procedure they are usually so small that they will go unnoticed by most people.

Liposuction can be used for any person that would like to reduce an area of fat. Although more popular in women, it is not inclusive to that demographic. Plenty of men get liposuction.

It has all the risks associated with any surgery. There are many different procedures for liposuction, the use of ultrasound or of adrenaline/saline instead for example, will change the level of risks involved in the procedure. Usually it is a quite safe surgery with the reservations exposed above.

It is a fairly safe procedure, but you should take the time to educate yourself on the possible dangers beforehand. E.g.

* Sagging skin * Scarring * Blood clotting * Skin discoloration * Infection * Puckered skin * Nerve damage * Necrosis * Allergic reaction to the anesthesia * Possible heart failure * Fluids may collect under the skin * Body may go into shock * Swelling of affected area * Permanent numbness of the affected area * Hypothermia * Vital organs may be damaged * Slow healing time * Severe bleeding

"With any surgery, there are always risks. Common risks include reactions to anesthesia, which are potentially fatal. There is also the risk of infection at the area of incision. Cosmetically, this area can be over-suctioned. In this area, the skin can become loose, allowing dents and irregularities to become more exaggerated."

I've had fibro

for 16 years. It is much better. However, a few weeks ago I have minor oral surgery and other dental work done. The same week I had a breast biopsy. To my surprise, my body was so traumatized that I wound up in bed for 3 days. Recently, we all had the stomach bug. Everybody was up the day after. It took me 3 days after to be able to function. Fibro

exacerbates pain and slows healing. Regardless, I plan to have laser lipo because my weigh is not going anywhere regardless of what I do. I will report of how this affected me.

Yes, the Liposuction procedure will leave you feeling very sore, itchy (when healing), and can be very painful after the pain medication wears off. For you to be a perfect candidate for Liposuction, it is preferrable that you are within 25-30 pounds of your Ideal Body Mass Index. There are more probable complications with body weights greater than 100 pounds, some of which can be fatal.
