Liposuction of the buttocks may lead to certain complications, such as skin laxity. The procedure is generally considered safe and rarely causes significant harm. However, if a patient has a large amount of fat in the buttocks and a substantial volume is removed, it may result in loose skin. This condition typically does not affect normal bodily functions and therefore serious long-term complications are unlikely to occur.
