Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat from the body. It is typically used to improve the appearance of specific areas, such as the thighs, abdomen, and arms. Liposuction can also be used to remove fat from the breasts, hips, and buttocks. The side effects of liposuction surgery can vary depending on the individual. However, common side effects may include bruising, swelling, and soreness. In some cases, patients may also experience numbness or tingling in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and will resolve within a few weeks. More serious side effects are rare but may include infection, damage to nerves or blood vessels, and internal bleeding. As with any surgery, it is important to discuss potential risks and side effects with a qualified doctor before undergoing the procedure.
