I've seen many patients very badly burned lately after lipo. Why is it happening? I am talking about burns happening here in the US not other countries. Is equipment or aggressive lipo. Those burns i've seen them happening from many of the experienced doctors so experience was not the issue. Many of those burns required skin grafting afterwards.

Answer: Burns and Liposuction- here's how it can happen Ask Dr Ellen Hello there,The safest liposuction remains the Tumescent Technique during which a salt water solution is infused into the area to be treated. Blunt tipped instruments are used within the fatty tissue to contour and sculpt the region. When liposuction is performed with ultrasonic equipment, or some chemicals, there can be an injury to the overlying skin from heat or a chemical reaction. A burn to the skin is possible.Thanks for asking! Dr Ellen

Answer: Burns with liposuction I discuss lipo devices during consultation. There are those that heat the skin and those that do not. I prefer those that do not. I do not find heating helps with skin contraction( as these machines profess), but they can cause burns. I have never seen a burn with traditional lipo.
