Is Liposuction Safe? How to Reduce the Risks/ Side Effects

“Liposuction or body contouring, a medically-approved, popular cosmetic surgery that removes unwanted fat from the body, should only be performed by a licensed cosmetic surgeon in an appropriate setting!”

In 2023, more than 2.2 million liposuction surgeries were performed globally, and the number of surgeries performed in India has increased annually. A report based on plastic surgeries in India suggests that tens of thousands of liposuction surgeries are conducted each year. The data clearly shows how popular body contouring surgery is, and the demands are increasing globally. However, knowing what factors should be considered when looking for a safe liposuction surgery is also important. Of course, the procedure is medically approved, except for some side effects, such as pain, swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness; liposuction effects are remarkable with the desired silhouette or glass figure.

The expert hand of an experienced plastic surgeon with board certification, an accredited clinic/ hospital, and the use of cutting-edge technologies are some of the essential factors that ensure a safe practice. However, knowing your plastic surgeon, the cosmetic center for liposuction near you, and some research and development work while proceeding for in-person consultation is inevitable.

This article will help you consider the prime factors responsible for a safe liposuction surgery, delving deeper clears your doubts and helps you make the right decision.

1.    The expert plastic surgeon

Expertise in a specific surgery means the credentials earned by offering good results. Going through the after-and-before photographs displayed in our gallery section will help you understand the procedure and development.

The following factors can determine the expertise of a plastic surgeon:

·       The board certification/ license to perform cosmetic surgeries

·       The training and hands-on practice experiences in performing liposuction surgeries with advanced technologies, such as VASER 4D body sculpting, LASER, or power-assisted liposuction

·       The active membership from the recognized plastic surgery societies, i.e., ISAPS, APSI, IAAPS, etc.

·       A good number of after-and-before photographs and happily satisfied patients’ feedback can be checked through vising the respective website.

2.    The Use of advanced technologies

Only a board-certified plastic surgeon trained in advanced liposuction techniques should perform VASER 4D sculpting. VASER 4D liposuction helps improve results with skin tightening benefits, enhancing the sculpting effect, and reducing downtime and unwanted post-op side effects. VASER lipo uses ultrasound waves to precisely remove fat without affecting the nearby tissues. However, minor incisions are enough to eliminate the fat, resulting in less bleeding, bruising, and scarring than conventional liposuction.

3.    The standard hygiene and safety measures employed by the clinic

Accredited clinics like Kesthetics, Bangalore, provide surgical facilities in a safe and appropriate setting, minimizing any hazardous risks or uncertainties. Dr. Karishma Kagodu, a trusted name in body contouring surgeries, oversees all aspects of surgical safety. Our clinic prioritizes the sterilization of surgical instruments and the fumigation of the surgical environment before and after every procedure.

4.    The careful assessment of every patient seeking liposuction surgery

Giving every patient a safe environment, homely feeling, and gentle care followed by pre-procedure instructions and post-op guidelines is the top priority of Dr. Karishma’s practice. She gives proper time in every consultation and listens to every doubt and concern of the patient. Dr. Karishma never recommends surgery if you do not meet the required surgical criteria.
