Complications can kill you

Follow the saying, “If money is your main concern about liposuction, WAIT!!“  When looking at anything in life, remember that you get what you pay for and sometimes, a cheap liposuction can leave you with many regrets. When anyone is giving away liposuction procedures at very low, cheap prices, they are cutting back somewhere and many times it is the clinic and the tools being used.

Liposuction procedures can lead to many complications if not performed correctly.  A liposuction procedure is no laughing matter and sometimes the doctor will get in such a hurry, major organs are perforated, thus causing possible death.

Think about how most liposuctions are performed: A surgeon makes a small incision in the area where fat is to be removed. This cut is and entry point for the cannula, a hollow tube that sucks unwanted tissue from beneath your skin. The doctor probes inside your body (rather blindly) until an acceptable amount of fat has been removed. After this the patient is instructed on how to take care of him or herself for the next few weeks until the incision has healed and they are back to full strength. With that in mind, it is important that you know as many of the procedure’s risks as you can before you agree to anything.

Potential Problems with Cheap Liposuction

There are many possible complications associated with liposuction such as perforated organs and infections.  Many will die from infections that may be resistant to antibiotics or from the general anesthesia that was used.  The two things that cause the most problems with liposuction complications are general anesthesia and working on multiple areas at once.  In other words, the patient was under the anesthesia way too long.

Going to an experienced physician will cut down on the risks, but even the best physician in the world cannot promise that there will be no complications or risks involved. Unsanitary conditions are next on the list for possible contamination and infections.

Liposuction alternatives are better than this!

Liposuction is an elective invasive procedure.  Although around 80% of patients are happy with the end results, 40% of the patients wished they had researched more before beginning this sometimes fatal procedure.  Many women will decide to do this surgery hoping for good health and longevity, but the truth is liposuction does not improve cardiac health; it is a cosmetic surgery only.

When choosing a doctor, look for the person who cares more about your overall health than he does his pocketbook.  The doctor, who turns away business due to the fact that the woman is just too heavy to benefit from this sometimes dangerous procedure, is the doctor to listen to more intensely.  Liposuction is sometimes good for women with a little weight that needs to be removed. For the very obese, they must seek other alternatives.

Like any surgery, the normal risk factors include complications from surgery, like infection, swelling, inflammation, allergic/abnormal reactions to tools or implements used reaction to medications, and more. Bruising, tenderness, and swelling are very common, and can cause fever, nausea, and similar side effects. This is especially true for the first few weeks after surgery. For many people, there are side effects, but for some, they can be severe.

Is Liposuction Deadly?

According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), most people are satisfied with liposuction’s outcome, but there are more deaths from Liposuction than any other cosmetic procedure.  In fact it is more deadly than being in a car accident.  16.1 people per 100,000 are killed in car accidents and 19 people per 100,000 are killed with liposuction.  Most of the people die from blood clots after the surgery and many could have been saved with a little more knowledge.

Injection lipolysis is a lipoalternative in which drug mixtures are injected into patients to remove and melt the fat down.  Injection lipolysis is also known as Lipodissolve and mesotherapy.  Lipodissolve is less painful than mesotherapy, but both have side effects.  Lipodissolve is the newest procedure to be introduced here in the US, but it has been used for a long time in Europe.  Mesotherapy has more side effects than Lipodissolve does.

Lipodissolve:

Lipodissolve is a non-invasive procedure that is safer than liposuction and is an effective way to remove fat deposits and eliminate cellulite.  This wonderful lipoalternative is not only a great alternative to plastic surgery, but it is one of the only proven ways of eliminating the fat forever, since it completely destroys the fat cells.  It should be noted that it does eliminate the fat as long as the person does not gain the weight back again.  This can be handled by eating a healthy diet and exercising.

After the procedure there may be soreness, swelling, bruising and temporary lumps.  Many clinics will suggest the use of compression garments to keep the swelling down and prevent pain.  It usually takes around two months to see the end results of the treatments. Procedures similar to Lipodissolve include mesotherapy, lipolysis injection lipolysis and /or lipostabil. Some of these treatments are virtually identical to Lipodissolve. Like this procedure, many are not FDA-approved, but are legal and often very effective.

Mesotherapy:

Mesotherapy is more painful than Lipodissolve and due to many patients having a low threshold of pain, a non-needle mesotherapy was developed.  The original mesotherapy was developed 50 years ago in France and it has been used in Europe successfully.  Many patients were dropping out of the therapy due to the pain involved, so a no-needle method was developed recently.
