Septic? How can I avoid it? I am getting LIPO next week, am I at risk?

hello mchapa85 Liposuction is considered to be a very safe procedure, however, like all surgical procedures, there is a small probability of  post-surgical problems like swelling, infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, prolonged healing time or changes in skin appearance. Safety and improved outcomes are more likely with surgeons certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery or the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and those with years of experience. #septic #risk

Liposuction alone has a very low risk for infection, but it is certainly not zero.Kenneth Hughes, MD

If you are using a board-certified Doctor, your risk is extremely low. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
