What are the side effects of liposuction surgery?
In recent years, liposuction surgery has attracted much attention due to its rapid body shaping effect and has become a hot topic in the field of medical aesthetics. However, as the number of surgical cases increases, so does the discussion about its sequelae. This article will combine the hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze the potential risks and sequelae of liposuction surgery from the perspective of structured data.
1. Common sequelae of liposuction surgery

Although liposuction surgery can help reduce localized fat, it is not completely risk-free. The following are common sequelae reported in clinical and user feedback:
| Types of sequelae | Specific performance | probability of occurrence |
|---|---|---|
| short term complications | Swelling, bruising, pain, numbness | 30%-50% |
| infection risk | Local redness, swelling, fever, and suppuration | 5%-10% |
| uneven skin | Uneven surface distribution due to uneven fat distribution | 10%-20% |
| Thrombus or pulmonary embolism | Fat enters blood vessels causing danger | <1% |
| long term sequelae | Skin laxity, pigmentation, nerve damage | 5%-15% |
2. Factors affecting the probability of sequelae
The occurrence of sequelae is closely related to surgical methods, doctor's skills, postoperative care, etc.:
| Influencing factors | Description |
|---|---|
| surgical technique | Traditional liposuction is more likely to cause congestion than ultrasound/laser liposuction |
| Liposuction volume | The risk of extracting more than 5000ml of fat in a single session is significantly increased |
| Patient constitution | People with diabetes and poor coagulation function are more likely to have complications. |
| Postoperative care | Failure to wear shapewear on time may lead to sagging skin |
3. How to reduce the risk of sequelae?
1.Choose a formal institution: Ensure that doctors have professional qualifications and avoid “black clinics”.
2.Comprehensive preoperative assessment: Physical examination to rule out contraindications (such as cardiovascular disease).
3.Control the amount of liposuction: It is recommended that the volume of fat extraction in a single operation should not exceed 3000ml.
4.Strict post-operative care: Wear body shaping garments for 3-6 months as directed by your doctor and avoid strenuous exercise.
4. Recent hot cases and discussions
In the past 10 days, a celebrity has been on the hot search list because of her severely uneven skin after liposuction, sparking controversy over "excessive liposuction." At the same time, many users on social media shared their experiences of postoperative infection and reminded the public to pay attention to postoperative anti-inflammatory management.
