Long term effects of liposuction
What are the long term effects of liposuction? Answer: there is no link to cancer or heart problems but there is the occasional internal scarring, numbness, contour irregularities. Short term there is a risk of bruising, infection, fluid collection, pulmonary embolism and even death. That's why it's essential to choose a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon who does procedures in an accredited facility.

Long term effects of tumescent liposuction
There should be no long term problems from tumescent liposuction with regard to heart problems or cancer.

Long Term risks of Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent Liposuction, like every other cosmetic surgery has its potential for long term problems. In skilled hands the problems should be minimal but they do exist. In an otherwise uneventful surgery one may still have long term contour irregularities, changes in pigment, noticeable scars, under or over removal of fat, asymmetry, etc. The tumescent fluid, per se, is not associated with any long term problems. Nor is the removal of unwanted fat a problem unless a patient gains a large amount...
