Answer: Liposuction and Fat Embolism Thank you for your question regarding fat embolism during liposuction vs. fat embolism during a BBL. You must realize these are entirely different types of procedures. Fat is removed under negative pressure and permanently eliminated from the body during liposuction. During a BBL procedure, fat is removed, but then it is reinjected. The highest incidents of fat emboli are when fat is injected into the muscle layer of the buttocks. This used to be commonly performed; however, once more research, the practice of injecting fat into the gluteus Maximus muscle was condemned. Plastic surgeons do not inject fat into the gluteus maximus muscle anymore. By not injecting fat into the muscle, the risk of fat embolism has significantly dropped. Therefore the risk of fat embolism is almost zero. The risk of fat embolism during routine liposuction is also extremely low. Please seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon when contemplating Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: LIPOSUCTION Hi dear. Compared to BBL, which has a higher complication rate due to the risk of fat injection into the muscles, liposuction itself also carries risks, but these are more controllable if the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. The risk of a fat embolism in liposuction is relatively low, especially if best safety practices are followed and the procedure is performed in a suitable environment, such as an accredited clinic, such as the one where I operate the CECIP Clinic in the Dominican Republic. You can write to us at 829-554-6062 to give you all the recommendations for your surgery.

Answer: Unnecessary anxiety Of all the things to worry about from having a Liposuction a Fervor and Bless and probably isn’t one that should be on the list. While it can theoretically happen and has been reported it is an exceedingly rare complication from Liposuction. In my opinion your biggest concern should be being left disfigured from choosing a poorly skilled or an experienced provider. In regards to serious complications the most realistic ones would be internal organ injury or infections. That said, serious complications are pretty rare with liposuction and it is considered a pretty safe procedure. For those who are highly risk-averse no one has to have cosmetic surgery.
