Liposuction is an excellent
method for treating localized fat collections.The procedure significantly improves contour and is associated with high
satisfaction rates.In addition, the
procedure is considered safe and has low complication rates.The
majority of liposuction complications are related to inadequate aesthetic
results.These include contour
irregularities, dimpling of the skin, skin sag and asymmetry.In addition, infection, bleeding, hematoma,
scarring, anesthesia complications and, rarely, injuries to deeper anatomic
structures can be seen. The
majority of these complications resolve with the passage of time, and in some
cases can be treated with additional surgery.Ultimately, the vast majority of patients are satisfied with their
results from liposuction.

Liposuction is a relatively safe operation that has major benefits. Like most procedures, there is a risk of scarring, bleeding, swelling, infection, and contour irregularities.  See the link below for details.

The most common side effect after liposuction is an irregular contour to the skin. There can be uneven areas with some minor depressions or bumps if the suctioning is performed too close to the surface of the skin or if the patient's skin has poor elasticity or stretch marks. The chances of having a small area of irregular contour is about 10%, but this varies depending upon skin tone and surgeon technique. Sometimes this can be corrected by performing a fat transfer to "fill in" a small depressed area. However, if an area has significant irregularity, it may not be correctable.
Other less common side effects include, temporary numbness, asymmetry, poor scarring or prolonged bruising.
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to planning any liposuction procedure.
