Safety Standards for Liposuction
When choosing a liposuction surgeon and deciding on a procedure or procedures, there are a number of safety issues you’ll need to address. Liposuction is an invasive process and you should really think twice, consider the complex of factors that concern your safety and finally make your decision! Lets have a look at these parameters:
-
How Extensive a liposuction is going to be
One of the primary issues you’ll want to look at is how extensive your procedure is going to be, how many areas should be treated during a single procedure, the size of the incisions that will be done and the amount of the fat that is going to be removed! If you remove too much fat from the body at a time or if you treat many areas of the body at a time, it can exert too much trauma on your body. Surgeons disagree over how much fat is too much; many believe however that as little as 2 liters can be too much, depending on the patient’s size and the type of procedure. Since cosmetic surgery is elective and not used for emergencies, there is really no need to rush. You’re investing money into something you want, so why subject yourself to unnecessary risk? The more extensive a liposuction is the less safe it is!

Finally its important for the clinic to be prepared for several emergencies (most important are definitely the cardiac ones)!
