The risks of buttock liposuction include potential nerve damage due to improper technique during the procedure, which may affect normal daily life. Buttock liposuction may also cause symptoms such as swelling and pain during recovery. Failure to properly care for the surgical site after surgery may lead to wound infection. After leg liposuction, the wound should not come into contact with water before stitches are removed.
