I was told from an unreliable source that liposuction causes an unusual metabolic disorder. Is this true?

Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed surgeries around the world. While any surgery carries some degree of risk, liposuction in general is considered a low-risk procedure, particularly if you select a board-certified plastic surgeon. I suggest scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to get informed, accurate, firsthand information about the actual risks and benefits associated with liposuction.

Liposuction continues to be one of the most popular procedures done world-wide treating fat and areas of the body that are out of proportion and typically do not respond to diet and exercise.  The procedure is exceedingly safe and does not cause metabolic disorders or vascular issues.  It is most important to determine if you are a good candidate and I highly recommend you get reliable advice from a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in liposuction.

No, liposuction won't cause vascular problems. 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
