What Happens to the Lymph System After Liposuction? Is It Sucked Out?

July 31, 2013

I am actually scheduled to have power assisted liposuction on the abdomen thighs and chin. My doctor explained to me that some of the lymph may be sucked out but it will likely grow back? I would like to find out more detailed information about exactly what happens to the lymph system after having liposuction. Does it still function 100% normally? Will lymph nodes or vessels get damaged and sucked out? Is there any impact on one's health by disruption in the lymph? Thank you!
