I’m a 35 year old very fair skin Black women. Looking into a BBL/360.
Answer: Liposuction burns Dear Chrissyskies35, your ethnicity will have no effect on the possibility of liposuction burns. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Are Black women more prone to liposuction burns? Or is it fully based on the doctors technique and negligence? It is technique based. Negligence is a very strong word that I would not use. Some spots can be very tricky and burns can happen in even the most experienced of hands (though this should be uncommon).

Answer: Are Black Women More Prone to Liposuction Burns? That sounds like a loaded question, but objectively speaking, no one is more prone to getting a burn, pigment has nothing to do with it. However, there is going to be some trauma to the incision skin edges whatever the liposuction technique. Only vaser generates heat from the cannula that must be mitigated by insulating the skin with a port protector and moist towel. And if that heat is excessive the incision can have some healing problems. Any patient can get hyperpigmentation at the point of entry of the cannula from friction trauma, but some patients will have a tendency to hyperpigment, and this is most noticeable in type IV and V patients as they have increased pigmentation to start with. A very fair skinned Black woman would be a type IV or V. If you are talking about end hit burns, where the vaser hits the undersurface of the skin and rests there too long, then a burn can occur with scarring. Fortunately this should be very rare nowadays as it is well known that you do not allow that to happen, you keep the cannula moving at all times and parallel not into the skin. So your question does not specify exactly what you mean by "liposuction burns", but these are two scenarios that could be included.

Answer: Liposuction burns The color of the skin has no relationship with Liposuction burns at all. Burns are more related to the use of energy-based-liposuction or aggressiveness trying to remove the majority of the fat. No doctor will ever try to burn a patient on purpose. Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Are Black women more prone to liposuction burns? Or is it fully based on the doctors technique and negligence? It depends on what you are considering a "lipo burn". If you mean an actual burn to the skin where skin has damage etc. then this is fully up to the surgeon's technique and not more common on black skin. It is more common with energy devices such as laser/vaser where heat can burn the skin and aggressive lipo cannulas such as baskets. If you mean hyperpigmentation or PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), then yes this is more common on darker pigmented skin including African American, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, etc. This can occur with just the trauma of liposuction and causes pigment to collect in the skin overlying the areas of lipo, especially where it is aggressive like the waistline with a BBL. Similar to pigment that collects when you get a bug bite or pimple.
