Can your lymph nodes be damaged during Vaser Lipo to inner thighs?

wes99989Feb 7, 2018
Hi there. I am scheduled for Vaser Lipo to the top of my inner thighs in three weeks time. My surgeon believes he can remove 150ml-200ml from each thigh. The pre-operation literature included the mention of a Lymphedema risk. Is this something I should be concerned about? Is it easy to damage lymph nodes in surgery of this type? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance.
