Liposuction is an excellent
method for treating localized fat collections.The procedure significantly improves contour and is associated with high
satisfaction rates.In addition, the
procedure is considered safe and has low complication rates.The
majority of liposuction complications are related to inadequate aesthetic
results.These include contour
irregularities, dimpling of the skin, skin sag and asymmetry.In addition, infection, bleeding, hematoma,
scarring, anesthesia complications and, rarely, injuries to deeper anatomic
structures can be seen. The
majority of these complications resolve with the passage of time, and in some
cases can be treated with additional surgery.Ultimately, the vast majority of patients are satisfied with their
results from liposuction.

Possible #Liposuction Side EffectsSome risks of liposuction include: Waviness, wrinkling, or dimpling of the skin, in come cases cellulite may be made worse Indentation or excess fat removal Lumps or firmness under skin Prolonged swelling (edema) Skin Pigment changes Shock, fat embolism, vein clots, body organ perforation, nerve injury and deat UAL Complications Pubic Distortion Umbilicus Malposition (unusual)Obesity, cellulite, or loose, sagging, and inelastic skin are several conditions which may tend towards less desirable results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction.

Liposuction is a relatively safe operation that has major benefits. Like most procedures, there is a risk of scarring, bleeding, swelling, infection, and contour irregularities.  See the link below for details.

The most common side effect after liposuction is an irregular contour to the skin. There can be uneven areas with some minor depressions or bumps if the suctioning is performed too close to the surface of the skin or if the patient's skin has poor elasticity or stretch marks. The chances of having a small area of irregular contour is about 10%, but this varies depending upon skin tone and surgeon technique. Sometimes this can be corrected by performing a fat transfer to "fill in" a small depressed area. However, if an area has significant irregularity, it may not be correctable.
Other less common side effects include, temporary numbness, asymmetry, poor scarring or prolonged bruising.
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to planning any liposuction procedure.

Every surgical procedure involves a certain amount of risk and it is important that you understand these risks and the possible complications associated with them. Althout the majority of patients do not experience these complications, you should always discuss each of them with your plastic surgeon. Here are some of the risks: bleeding, infection, scarring, skin discoloration, swelling, assymetry, seroma, skin contour irregularities, pain. It is common to experience diminished(or loss) of skin sensation in areas that have had surgery. This usually resolves over a period of time. Many people think that liposuction will reduce the cellulite. However liposuction does not remove fat from the areas where cellulite lies, therefore it usually does not get rid of it.

In most cases, swelling is the longest lasting side effect of liposuction. While 80% of the swelling goes away in the first few weeks, it can take up to 6 months to see the final results. Also, bruising can be can issue. For major liposuction, you should expect to see a moderate amount of bruising - this should resolve in just a few weeks.
If you are having minor liposuction, such as Smartlipo, your bruising risk is reduced, but you should still expect to have swelling. Additional risks include lumps, which usually resolve unless there is a technical error; infection, which is very rare; and canulla site wound healing problems, which is also very rare. Good luck with your surgery.

As common as liposuction is, it is still surgery and has its risks as well. It risks may include nerve damage, although it is rare.
Common side effects include bruising, swelling and numbness which resolves over time. Areas that contain cellulite are not easily treated during liposuction and may appear worse in certain cases. So be cautious, liposuction is not a treatment by any means for cellulite.
Then there are the risks that are associate with anesthesia also, which again, this day and age is very safe.
Hope that helps.

Liposuction, like any surgical procedure, can have potential side effects and risks, including:1. Swelling and Bruising: Temporary swelling and bruising are common after liposuction2. Pain: Discomfort and pain at the treatment site are typical, but they can be managed with medication.3. Infection: Infections are rare but possible; maintaining proper hygiene is important.4. Scarring: Liposuction incisions are small, but some scarring may occur.5. Irregularities: Uneven fat removal can result in contour irregularities or dimpling.6. Numbness: Temporary numbness in the treated area can occur but often improves over time. 7. Skin Discoloration: Skin color changes may happen, especially in people with darker skin.8. Seroma or Hematoma: Fluid buildup or blood accumulation may require drainage.9. Allergic Reactions: Rare, but possible reactions to medications or anesthesia.10. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism: Blood clots can form, potentially causing serious complications.11. Anesthesia Risks: General anesthesia carries its own risks.12. Unsatisfactory Results: Expectations may not always match the actual results.It’s essential to discuss these potential side effects with your surgeon and follow their post-operative care instructions carefully. Liposuction should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility to minimize risks.

Side effects include contour irregularities and depressions. Visible and palpable wrinkling of skin can occur. Mild asymmetry and unevenness are also common. Nerve damage is extremely rare but it is possible. Liposuction will not cause cellulite but also will not lessen the appearance either.
