What Happens when Liquefied Fat is Not Suctioned Out?

December 9, 2008
Asked By:ms8172 in Indiana

I just had tumescent Smart Lipo done on my abdomen and a male breast reduction. The doctor suctioned out the liquefied fat after using the laser. If the excess fat was not suctioned out, what happens?
