I want to get my upper arms done, i have wated this procedure for so long, but every time I intend to have it, I read about the possible complications and it freaks me out, I am a medical practitioner myself, I read so many papers. I am worried about developing fat embolism or fat embolism syndrome in one paper I read that 0.5 to 2% of the patients undergoing liposuction develop this complication yet its subclinical, I am worried, i don't feel comfortable with the fat in my arms, yet i don't feel 100% safe performing this procedure.

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. This particular procedure is a relatively safe procedure to have done. Complications are extremely low and it's a rather quick procedure to be done. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options and concerns. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Liposuction safety Fat embolism is a very rare complication of liposuction and liposuction is a very safe procedure if carried out by a experienced well trained surgeon. There are risks in everything we do, and the risk of fat embolism or other complication of arm liposuction is lower than the risk of many things we do every day.
