Are there any dangers involved with Liposuction?

Contrary to sensationalistic misrepresentations in the lay press, Tumescent Liposuction Surgery has been shown to be a very safe procedure with very few complications. Tumescent liposuction is rapidly becoming the state-of-the-art method throughout the world. When properly performed, it has proven to be extremely safe. Hundreds of thousands of cases have been performed without any significant complications.

The few serious reported complications of "Tumescent" Liposuction have been cases where the operating physician had not been properly trained and the procedure was modified such as combining Tumescent liposuction with general anesthesia or heavy sedation. The "old style" Liposuction, which is still performed by many surgeons, has some potentially serious complications ranging from the risk of general anesthesia to excessive bleeding. This "old style" method is a brutal procedure requiring a lengthy and uncomfortable recuperation.

At Skin and Cosmetic Solutions, Dr. Puente has been performing Tumescent liposuction since 1994 on thousands of patients (over 5,000 cases) without any complications.
