What Are The Complications? What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Side effects of liposuction surgery include the small incision marks, bruising, and discomfort and soreness in the area where work has been done. These side effects occur, to a certain extent, in almost every case. Other side effects of the operation occur with variable frequency. These include removal of too little or too much fat in certain areas, dimpling or wrinkling, and prolonged discoloration of the skin. Very rarely, excessive bleeding at the tine of surgery may cause a blood clot, which appears as a swelling that may need to be drained. This is called a hematoma, and a slight chance for infection exists. Antibiotics are used in the I.V. at the time of surgery to minimise post op infection.
