Liposuction on saddlebags/outer thighs, are death ratios something to worry about? (Photo)

Reserved578865
Hello, I workout a lot and I’m quite fit but there’s stubborn outer thigh fat (saddle bags) that I can’t seem to get rid of completely. I’ve been thinking of getting liposuction only on the saddle bags. However, I’ve read a lot of articles that mentioned the death ratios and all the incidents that ended up in death. It made me really scared. I just want to know if it’s something to worry about Thank you
