While many people look to the liposuction procedure as a miracle sure to many different weight related issues, there are various limitations that one must be aware of with regards to the surgery.
Some times the surgery can cause certain side effects which may need another surgical procedure to repair.
These side effects can include things like sagging or loose skin, pigment discolorations, dimpling, scarring and even lumpiness of the treated area.
For starters one of the largest limitations associated with the liposuction is to the amount of fat that can safely be removed in a procedure.
One has to remember that the liposuction was never intended for solving morbid obesity.
If you are excessively overweight you will have to opt for a stomach stapling or gastric bypass first as a means to reduce your weight, then and only then can you undergo a liposuction to take care of the remaining fat storages that for some reason would not disappear as a result of the stomach stapling.
There is also a limitation that is set on the amount of anesthetic that can be used safely in any given time period.
It is for this reason that the fat removal is limited as well.
When the surgeon performs the surgery they inject a fluid that contains anesthesia as well as adrenaline.
This injection helps with the removal of the fat cells and as long as the adrenaline is still available, the anesthesia will not be an issue.
In the event that you undergo a liposuction and you are very close to the unsafe amount of excess fat, there is a chance that the adrenaline will wear off before the anesthetic and this will cause some serious issues.
Make sure that when choosing a surgeon who will perform your procedure that this surgeon has been certified by the board of cosmetic surgeons.
This certification means that he or she has the knowledge, experience and is competent to perform the surgery in which they are certified in.
There have been fewer complications related to surgeons who are certified than there have been by those who were not.
Be on the safe side and make sure you choose well.
