Liposuction will not have much effect of blood flow, and if properly done, will not interfere with erections. The nerves to the penis are not in the area treated with liposuction. However, you may have some swelling and bruising in that area initially.

Liposuction affects the area where the cannula is placed to remove fat.
Nerves to the penis are very deep and far away from the cannula placement.

It is highly unlikely that a liposuction procedure could cause erectile dysfunction, In fact, I have never heard of it associated.

Liposuction is safely performed just under the skin in the fat layer. While some temporary skin sensation changes are common, it would be extremely unusual for any erectile dysfunction. Some temporary swelling and bruising with some temporary numbness is possible in the penile and scrotal areas. We use Vaser ultrasound liposuction for less traumatic procedure and easier recovery.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.
