What Could Have Caused A Blister After I Had Laser Liposuction?

Thank you for your question. There are many causes, and it is not stated if you had liposuction on your arm. If you had lipo on the arm, then getting too superficial with a laser could cause a blister. Likely, some adhesive from EXG electrodes are the culprit if the blister has a round or square shape. The adhesive is famous for causing these kind of problems. I hope this helps.

   The big blister after laser liposuction is probably due to a burn from the laser used during the liposuction session.  Hopefully, with local wound care, this will heal well.  Make sure you tell your surgeon about it.  This is one of the down sides of smart lipo that conventional liposuction or tumescent liposuction does not have.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The blister you describe is probably due to thermal injury transmitted to the more superficial layers of the skin by the laser liposuction cannula. This is a known complication of laser liposuction, although many safeguards to prevent this problem have been built into the newer systems made by SmartLipo and others. The good news is that with proper wound care, the blistered area should heal well, and with a minimum of scarring.
