What are the dangers of facial liposuction? Is it life-threatening?

1. Anesthesia accidents and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents during surgery

It refers to unexpected situations caused by anesthesia or problems caused by surgical stimulation during the operation. Severe cases may be life-threatening. The main preventive measures are to strictly grasp the adaptive symptoms before the operation, accurately understand the systemic condition, exclude various hidden diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, etc., and choose appropriate anesthesia methods and anesthetics, etc., and have good rescue conditions during the operation.

2. Bleeding during surgery

Dry liposuction causes relatively more bleeding, while wet liposuction causes less bleeding. It is essential to understand the patient's blood coagulation function before surgery. The doctor's operation and the preparation of the swelling agent are also very important. If the amount of bleeding is too large, infusion or blood transfusion should be performed, but it should not happen in general.

3. Accidental injury to major organs during facial liposuction

If the suction tip is accidentally inserted into the chest or abdominal cavity during surgery,

4. Fat embolism

The incidence of this type of complication is relatively low, but if it occurs, it is life-threatening and requires active and strict rescue.

5. Infection after facial liposuction surgery

The infection rate of this type of surgery in regular hospitals is approximately between 2% and 5%, which mainly depends on factors such as the hospital's sterile conditions, the doctor's operation, the patient's physical condition, postoperative recovery conditions, and whether antibiotics are used preventively.
