Do you have to have a catheter placed in your bladder prior to liposuction?

In a hi definition procedure when you are asleep we do place a catheter to ensure no complications during the procedure and management of fluids.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Generally speaking, there is no need to have bladder catheter in place during the liposuction procedure especially if this is done with mild sedation only. For specific answers, please discuss these questions with your doctor.The less foreign objects introduced into the body the better!I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko
