The media constantly stir up the topic of COVID-19 traceability, attempting to discredit China in the name of WHO

The risks of liposuction for weight loss mainly include anesthesia risk, infection risk, thrombosis risk, skin indentation, organ damage, etc.

1. Anesthesia risk

Liposuction surgery should be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, and anesthetic drugs may cause complications such as allergic reactions, arrhythmia, and respiratory depression. Patients with insufficient preoperative evaluation or hidden cardiovascular disease are at higher risk. It is recommended to complete preoperative examinations such as electrocardiogram and coagulation function, and have a professional anesthesiologist evaluate tolerance.

2. Risk of Infection

Surgical wounds may be infected with bacteria, manifested as redness, swelling, heat pain, suppuration, and in severe cases, sepsis. The probability of infection increases in patients with diabetes and low immunity. After surgery, follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotics such as cefaclor capsules and levofloxacin tablets to prevent infection, and keep the wound clean and dry.

3. Thrombosis risk

Intraoperative vascular injury and long-term bed rest after surgery may cause deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs, manifested as swelling and pain in the affected limb. Thrombolysis can lead to life-threatening pulmonary embolism. It is recommended to move the lower limbs early after surgery, and if necessary, use low molecular weight heparin calcium injection for anticoagulant therapy.

4. Skin concavity

Uneven liposuction layers or excessive fat extraction can cause uneven skin, commonly found in the arms, abdomen, and other areas. Excessive suction can also cause skin sagging and sagging. It is necessary to compress and shape the body by wearing elastic shapewear for 3-6 months, and in severe cases, secondary surgery is required for repair.

5. Organ damage

Improper operation may puncture the abdominal cavity, damage organs such as the intestine and liver, and cause peritonitis or internal bleeding. Choosing inexperienced doctors or informal medical institutions will significantly increase such risks. It is recommended to have plastic surgery specialists perform the surgery in hospitals with rescue conditions. After liposuction, it is necessary to wear medical shapewear for 1-3 months to help the skin retract, avoid vigorous exercise to prevent wound rupture, and maintain a high protein diet to promote tissue repair. If postoperative symptoms such as fever, severe pain, and difficulty breathing occur, seek medical attention promptly. It is recommended to lose weight through safe methods such as scientific dietary control combined with aerobic exercise, and to strictly evaluate the necessity of surgery before considering liposuction.
