Liposuction is the removal of fat from deposits underneath the skin by using a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Although great benefits can result from liposuction, there are more dangers and risks involved in the procedure.

The immediate benefits of liposuction can be both physical and mental. The procedure not only changes the way the patient looks, but it also changes the way others perceive them. It also changes the clothes they are able to wear. The patient is able to achieve the exact look that they want within the limits of technology and their body type. The procedure is now so advanced that the patient can choose an exact location where they want the fat to be removed from. It is like sculpting the body when exercise and dieting fail. The greatest mental benefit is that the patient gains an incredible boost of self-esteem.

The dangers and risks of liposuction include, but are not limited to, excess skin, contour irregularities, infection, organ damage, pulmonary embolism, lidocaine overdose, and death.

Lumps, bumps, asymmetry and irregular contours are a common unwanted result. More than 20 percent of patients have revisions made to improve contour irregularities.

Infections may be mild or severe. Doctors prescribe antibiotics after procedure to prevent infection before it has the chance to develop. When infections do occur they can be treated with oral antibiotics if they are caught early. Signs of infection include redness, increasing tenderness, red streaks visible on skin, vomiting, fevers over 101 degrees and chills.
