What is the adverse effect of cavitation liposuction on systolic blood pressure?

Question

this fluctuation in my systolic BP remained for two days .i do not have any cardiovascular disease ,but yes a mild hypertension for which i take half a tablet of lisinopril and amlodipine 5/5 once in 24hrs. is it because of that procedure.

Thank you for your question. Blood pressure after liposuction is usually due to pain related issues.  There should not be any real significant changes.  There may be some fluid retention and this can cause a slight increase in pressure in some patients, but not all patients.  Taking your blood pressure only once is not a true indication.  You may just need a little pain medication. I hope this helps!

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

In my opinion, although it's possible the BP changes are related to surgery, they are more likely to be related to fluid shifts and peri-operative fluid retention than the particular liposuction technology.  BP elevation after surgery should be taken seriously and should be evaluated by a physician.  Be sure to alert your physician, and do NOT rely on online advice for care of this condition.
