Liposuction is generally a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. However, like any surgical procedure, it does have some potential long-term side effects.
One of the most common long-term side effects of liposuction is the development of lumps, bumps, and unevenness in the treated area. This can occur if the surgeon removes too much fat, or if they are not careful with their technique. It can also occur if the patient gains weight after the procedure.
Another potential long-term side effect of liposuction is skin sagging or loose skin in the treated area. This can happen if the surgeon removes too much fat from the area, which can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and not retract properly.
Some people may also experience numbness or a loss of sensation in the treated area. This is usually temporary, but in some cases, it can be permanent.
Other possible long-term side effects of liposuction include scarring, infection, and changes in skin color or texture.
It's important to discuss the potential risks and side effects of liposuction with your plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure. They can help you understand what to expect and how to minimize your risks.
