Im currently in the research phase, with having booked a few consultations, for a liposuction surgery. My biggest worry is that I'll die during surgery or that I'll die from complications. As of right now, I'm leaning toward a double board certified plastic surgeon and Im at my ideal weight so not a lot to remove, but I can't help but to feel anxiety and nervous. Mainly because this is an elective procedure and im afraid something will happen to me. Any words to ease this?

Answer: Liposuction is a safe procedure provided you go to someone qualified Liposuction is a surgical procedure and carries risk like any surgical procedure does, however, if you go to a provider who is highly qualified, this should not be a large concern. Measures are taken throughout the procedure to ensure patient safety is the absolute priority.

Answer: Liposuction safety Hello, my name is Dr. Igor Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. The most important thing in my opinion is to seek a trained plastic surgeon who performs these procedures very commonly. All procedures come with risk, however, seeking a trained medical professional who performs surgery in a safe environment helps to minimize risk as much as possible. Ask questions during your consultations and make sure you feel comfortable with the provider prior to scheduling any surgery.

Answer: Liposuction safety Hello and thank you for your question! Liposuction, in general, is a very safe surgery. However, any surgery has important risks to consider, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, wound healing issues. These issues are typically very small (less than 1% with lipo) and one question you can ask at your consult is what steps/actions are taken to prevent/minimize these risks? The type of anesthesia used is another important question to ask. Some liposuction cases can be done very easily and efficiently under local anesthesia which in general carries less risks than general anesthesia. You should also ask the type of facility that your case will be performed at (office setting, surgery center, hospital, etc). Patient specific factors, such as medical history/conditions, age, medications, etc all come into play when calculating risk. It is normal to feel anxious/nervous but it is important to get the answers to the questions that you have and feel comfortable with the surgeon/facility and team taking care of you when moving forward. Good luck on your journey!
