Answer: Embolism Safety is the priority in surgery. Every surgery carries a certain amount of risk but there is much that can be done to keep this risk to a minimum. When you meet with your surgeon a review of your medical history will be performed and potential risks will be identified. There are several things that you can do both pre and post op to keep your risk minimized. Closely follow the surgeons instructions regarding any medications or supplements you take. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and get regular exercise. After surgery be sure to take take deep breaths regularly and walk around a little each day according to your surgeons instructions.

Answer: Fat embolism Fat embolism is very rare with just liposuction because suction is being applied at all times when the cannula or tube is inserted, and it sucks fat out instead of pushing it inside. Embolism is more common with lengthy procedures, especially over 4 hours, and general anesthesia. You might consider awake liposuction done under local anesthesia. It carries the lowest risk. Also, under general anesthesia, cafe massage is often done to decrease blood clots from your leg veins.

Answer: Fat Embolism and Lipo Thank you for posting your question here!Although fat embolism is a possibility with liposuction , it is extremely rare if the liposuction was done right. Fat embolism is more common during fat grafting procedures especially when done to muscles (usually large ones ) with big vessels and under pressure . So if your surgeon uses sate techniques to perform your liposuction and remains in the right plane you should be safe.I hope this helps! best of luck!
