Disease description:

Because my thighs are relatively thick, pants don't look good on me, so I'm considering thigh liposuction. However, I've heard that it might fail, and I'd like to know what common complications can occur if the procedure is unsuccessful.

Common complications following failed thigh liposuction include infection, typically caused by failure to maintain sterile conditions during surgery or inadequate postoperative care, such as getting the area wet too early or frequently touching the wound. If the surgeon lacks sufficient experience and removes too much fat, it may result in uneven skin surface, leading to aesthetic deformities.
