34 year-old male in very good health. 5' 11" and 185 pounds. Have never had a surgical procedure. Considering abdominal liposuction and etching and small chin area liposuction to improve appearance. Board certified plastic surgeon and a board certified anesthesiologist in a certified surgical suite (AAAASF). How low is risk of a major complication / death?
Answer: Liposuction Risks Liposuction has proven to be one of the safest plastic surgeries of all. Done properly, the risks are basically zero. Large volume liposuctions (over 5 liters) has an occasional, yet significant, complication of a pulmonary embolus of either fat or a blood clot. The pain is also quite surprisingly minimal. With proper technique and good compression following the procedure, pain is similar to a very intense workout that diminishes quite quickly.

Answer: VASER Hi Definition Liposuction / Body Contouring / Fat Transfer / Ab Sculpting Please see an expert in VASER contouring. These procedures although more aggressive require expertise and skill and are VERY safe if done by someone experienced in certified centers. After care is essential as is lymphatic massage, RF treatments like venus legacy/exilis and compression. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fear of death after surgery. It is always important to ask your surgeon of severe and minor possible complications, and death obviously is one of them, but soooo unlikely that it is rarely discussed. The likelyhood of death with a board certified surgeon and a board certified anesthesiologist, is less than you dying in a car accident.

Answer: Fear of dying in liposuction surgery? The risk of death after routine liposuciton done by a competent trained physician is probably on the order of 1 in 50,000. If you can't calm yourself about undergoing the procedure then put it off until you're more comfortable with the idea. I will tell you that in my experience patients wake up from surgery thinking that they were asleep for only 10 minutes and don't even realize that the procedure was performed. Try to relax and recognize that in the end you'll realize that it was a simple experience that was over in "the blink of an eye."
