Is waist circumferential liposuction dangerous?

In general, circumferential liposuction of the waist carries certain risks, although the extent of risk is influenced by multiple factors. Potential risks may include anesthesia-related risks, wound infection, and fat embolism.

Circumferential liposuction of the waist is typically performed under anesthesia, thus carrying risks such as allergic reactions to local anesthetics or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents during anesthesia, which in severe cases may even lead to sudden death. Because a large amount of fat needs to be removed from the waist area during the procedure, inadequate postoperative wound care may lead to infection. In severe cases, infection may progress to bacteremia. During liposuction, improper technique may cause fat particles to enter the bloodstream, resulting in fat embolism.

To reduce surgical risks, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted before surgery to ensure there are no contraindications. It is also recommended to choose a qualified and正规 medical facility, which can better ensure surgical precision and reduce the occurrence of surgical errors and complications. After surgery, patients should strictly follow the physician's instructions for postoperative care and rehabilitation, including wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous exercise, and keeping the wound clean and dry. These measures help promote wound healing and recovery.
