Is liposuction life threatening? Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery. Doctors cut a small incision in a certain part of the dieter's body, then insert a catheter with a small fat separation device into the fat layer, crush the fat by physical means such as ultrasound and high-frequency electric field, and remove the subcutaneous fat accumulated locally in the human body through the suction of negative pressure, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight and improving body shape. These body parts are generally abdomen, thighs, buttocks and so on.

Liposuction to lose weight has certain risks. Moreover, the fat separated from the body by this method does not exceed 10 kg. General patients can operate after receiving general anesthesia.

Liposuction, like other weight-loss operations, may cause some complications. Now the mortality rate in surgery has decreased. During the period from 1994 to 1998, one in every 5,224 cases died of liposuction, which was quite horrible and even higher than the death rate of traffic accidents.

However, according to the statistics of American Society of Aesthetic Surgery recently, it is concluded that there is a death case every 47,465,438+05 during liposuction.

But even so, the possible risks during the operation should not be underestimated. A recent dermatological survey found that the incidence of clinical complications caused by liposuction was 0.7%.
