Complications after liposuction: current state of the problem (literature review)

https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2024-9-83-86

Abstract

The variety of body shape correction techniques based on liposuction and currently used in plastic surgery is largely due to the desire to achieve the greatest possible cosmetic effect and, at the same time, minimize the possible negative consequences of invasive intervention. The choice of a specific method depends on a number of factors, among which are the treatment plan agreed with the patient, the individual characteristics of the patient being operated on, the presence or absence of medical contraindications to the use of certain techniques, the qualifications of the personnel, the level of material equipment of the operating unit. Liposuction is the aspiration of fat from subcutaneous tissue. It can be used for aesthetic lipoplasty or combined with body contouring surgery. The article is of a review nature and contains modern data on the medical effects of liposuction, VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) and PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction) techniques, and possible complications after liposuction.
