Question

Liposuction will not be effective for the fingers and it can certainly cause damage if attempted.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I would not do liposuction on the fingers due to increased risk of complications. For best results of liposuction to  the body, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF 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

Thank you for the question.  The answer is absolutely not, as it would actually be a dangerous procedure that would most likely result in the loss of a finger.  Significant swelling is part of recovery from all liposuction procedures.  A finger is a very limited and tight space that does not tolerate much swelling.    Even if cannulas thin enough did exist, performing liposuction in a finger would likely injure vital structures in the finger, jeopardizing both the nerve supply and the blood supply to the finger, and would most likely result in the loss of a finger.  Even if the finger survived, the internal scarring from liposuction would most likely impair your finger's range of motion for the rest of your life.

Liposuction of the fingers? I'm afraid not. The effective cannulas are too large and the complication rate to high. However, a consult with a plastic surgeon might yield a different answer. A personal assessment is necessary for a definitive answer. Thank you for your question, and good luck.

I would not perform liposuction on the fingers. The arteries and nerves to the finger tip runs on the side of the fingers and can be easily damaged. This would result in permanent numbness and possible loss of your fingers. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.
