Liposuction is a major surgical procedure. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. Tumescent liposuction has made the liposuction procedure safer. The following represent a list of the possible complications of liposuction:
EXPECTED
Bruising. Many persons will get some bruising after liposuction. For most, bruising is mild and occasionally moderate in severity. Bruising typically lasts days to weeks. Some studies suggest that leaving the entry sites (holes through which the fat is removed using liposuction cannulas) open to drain will result in less bruising. Of course, this may result in a more visible scar. Additionally, recent studies have shown that power liposuction may result in less bruising for the first few days following liposuction, although there has been no difference in final result.
Numbness. Many people will have some numbness in the treated areas that may last several months. Rarely, numbness can be long lasting or permanent. This may occur with damage to a nerve. Numbness may be more common with internal ultrasonic liposuction.
Discomfort. Most patients will have some degree of discomfort after liposuction. This is usually mild and well-controlled using prescription pain medication. Rarely, the discomfort can last one week or longer.
UNCOMMON
Fluid Collections beneath the skin (seroma). Occasionally fluid may collect beneath the skin following liposuction. It has been theorized that may occur more frequently when larger diameter cannulas are used. These collections may require drainage using a needle and syringe, which is usually painless.
Skin Breakdown. Areas of skin can open and become weepy after liposuction. Some believe that this is more likely with ultrasonic liposuction or superficial tumescent liposuction. This is not common, and rarely heals with scarring.
Swelling. As saltwater is used with tumescent liposuction, swelling can occur after the procedure. This does not occur commonly, and is most common in the legs. If the mons (pubic area and area just above this) is treated in women, there may be swelling of the labia (lips of the vagina) that can be pronounced.
RARE
Infection. Following tumescent liposuction, infection is exceedingly rare. It is unknown exactly why, but some surgeons have theorized that the ruptured fat cells that are left behind following tumescent liposuction results in inflammation that makes it difficult for bacteria to grow. Others have theorized that the tumescent fluid used in tumescent anesthesia has antibacterial properties that inhibit infection. Whether or not either of these is true has not been proven. Despite this, most patients receive antibiotics before or during the liposuction procedure, that further reduces the risk of infection. Nevertheless, as with any surgical procedure it is possible to get an infection that could result in the need for hospitalization for intravenous antibiotics and major surgery. This is exceedingly rare!
Bleeding. With tumescent liposuction, bleeding is rarely a problem. Perforation of blood vessels or irritation of muscle is possible, although rare, that results in bleeding. These complications may be more common with ultrasonic liposuction, power liposuction, and the use of small diameter cannulas (2-3 mm). Bleeding may result in the need for hospitalization, blood transfusions, and surgery.
Scarring. This rarely occurs after liposuction, but has been reported. Typically scarring may result if there is skin breakdown. Patients who are prone to keloid formation may develop keloids in the treated areas, although this is uncommon. Small scars will develop at the entry sites and are usually small (<1/4 inch).
Perforation of an internal organ. This is rare, although has occurred. Typically this occurs due to inexperience of the surgeon. Use of a smaller diameter cannula, ultrasonic liposuction, or power liposuction may increase the risk of this complication.
Death. There have been several deaths reported with liposuction. Most of these deaths have occurred when excessive amounts of fat have been removed, large amounts of tumescent fluid have been used, liposuction was performed with other procedures (i.e. tummy tuck, facelift, breast augmentation), and due to surgeon error (i.e. perforation of an internal organ. In general, tumescent liposuction is an extremely safe procedure when performed on an appropriate patient, when a reasonable amount of fat is removed, when it is not combined with multiple procedures, and when performed by a surgeon who is experienced.

Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck.
The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.

Liposuction is usually done as an outpatient procedure in a properly equipped doctor's office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. In general, it does not require an overnight hospital stay unless a large volume of fat is being removed. Local anesthesia is used in some cases. And you may or may not be given a sedative to help you relax. If a large area or volume of fat is being treated, general anesthesia or deep sedation with a local anesthetic may be used.

Depending on the anatomical body area to have lipo. performed The physician will inject a tumescent solution of normal saline which contains epinephrine (to help control bleeding) Then liposuction cannula is introduced through a small stab wound and the fat and injected solution is sucked out. Problems are lumpy areas, bleeding .

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Baggy clothes hide your body and encourage lounging around. So even though you're relaxing at home, wear fitted clothes to help keep you on track.
