When Getting Lipo on the Stomach Area What Are the Chances of the Cannula Puncturing an Organ?

Dear needtoknow123,

As noted by all of the earlier physician responders, the risks of organ puncture or injury is low in abdominal liposuction however it is not unheard of.  This is why anyone who is performing a liposuction procedure must be constantly aware of the position of the cannula tip.  Not as simple as it sounds but something that all board certified plastic surgeons are trained in during their years of residency.

Just to reassure you, liposuction when performed correctly is a very safe procedure and one with a degree of patient satisfaction.  Best of luck with your surgery.

While theroetically possible, intraperitoneal penetration by a liposuction cannula is a very rare occurrence. It is not a problem that I have seen or have heard of a specfic case but it undoubtably has happened somewhere. In experienced and qualified hands, this is a vert remote possibilily.
