Lipo 360/BBL risks - should I be worried about necrosis, blood clots, fibrosis, oil cysts, abscesses?

Dear Keeetz,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Excellent question. All procedures have risk, even in the best of hands. It is important to go to a plastic surgeon with adequate experience to lower these risks. It is important to follow instructions before and after surgery to help keep these risks low.
Some of the risks include contour irregularities and areas of residual fat and skin if the liposuction is not done evenly. Burns leading to skin necrosis can happen if there any type of energy device will be used in conjunction to liposuction - but this is not always necessary. If too much fat is transferred to the buttocks, there is a higher risk of cysts, abscess or fat necrosis which can result in irregularities, pain, lumps and bumps and sometimes drainage. More serious risks include blood clots after surgery which can be potentially fatal. One of the most important things to do after surgery to prevent blood clots is to walk around after surgery.
Having sleep apnea does not directly impact your surgery, however having other risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking history, taking hormones (oral contraceptive pills), and obesity can all increase your chances of having a complication after surgery. It is important to have an honest discussion with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your desired goals and needs from surgery.

Hello @Keeetz, thank you for your question. Before deciding to have any surgery, it's critical to understand that there are risks associated with all surgical procedures. The risks you listed—necrosis, blood clots, fibrosis, lipoburn, oil cysts, and abscesses—can occur during Lipo 360/BBL procedures, but the overall risk varies depending on the surgeon's experience, the patient's general health, and how closely post-operative care instructions are followed. Complications are substantially less likely if you select a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive BBL experience. Best wishes!Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
