I heard about a lady whose liver and colon got punctured by the cannula during lipo, which led to internal bleeding that killed her less than 24 hours after the procedure. The story is confirmed and the doctor got his license seized for one year but is now back in practice. what is the likelihood that this can happen? how can it be avoided?
Answer: Injury to abdominal organs during liposuction. Injury to intra-abdominal organs is a serious, lethal complication from abdominal liposuction. It is rare, but every plastic surgeon has heard of cases that appear in the ER . . . some patients make it, some don't. It can happen to the best of us but the key is to recognize and treat the problem expediently. Make sure you do your homework and choose a conscientious, careful plastic surgeon.

Answer: Internal organ injury during liposuction This complication can occur with liposuction. It is very uncommon but it can occur even in the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon - some leaders in the field have been brave enough to report their own cases during conferences. However, using good surgical technique this risk can be minimized. Many surgeons will have never seen this complication during their entire career.

Answer: Puncturing the internal organs should not occur with liposuction. Anything is possible even puncturing delivered during liposuction. This is an unacceptable consequence and occurs quite rarely.
