While there is some risk with any procedure, liposuction is one of the safest forms of cosmetic surgery. Complications have been reported in as low as 1 per 1,000 with most of these being small skin irregularities due to failure of the skin to contract to the patient’s now smaller size. Most of the risks involved in liposuction can be minimized by choosing a highly qualified board certified Plastic Surgeon. Should you choose to undergo either tumescent or ultrasonic liposuction in Southern California, Dr. Agha will advise you of the potential complications of each procedure and provide you with a written consent form. If treating many areas at the same time, the risks will increase. The same is true if removing a small amount of fat from a large area. If you want liposuction in various areas, it is best to space out the sessions.
