PAL Liposuction Safe for Legs with Spider and Varicose Veins?

Many patients with varicose veins and spider veins undergo successful liposuction with the PALS technique.
However, varicose veins and spider veins may be a symptom for poor circulation of the veins in the legs. Patients with poor circulation are more prone to prolonged swelling and bruising from liposuction. They should consult carefully with their board certified plastic surgeon, especially one with board certification in general surgery tas well as plastic surgery, who are very familiar with vascular surgery and the pitfalls of venous stasis disease, as well as its risks and treatments.

It does not matter which form or type of any of the liposuctions are used. There is a very small statistical significant increase in risks with patient having venous insufficiency. This is called good informed consent. It does not mean patients can not under go liposuctions with these issues, they should just be aware of a slight additional risk. Regards.
