Liposuction is generally safe, but much like any surgery, it’s important to understand any risks associated with a procedure you undergo. These risks will be explained during your initial consultation with your surgeon, so you are aware of any symptoms that may occur that signal the need to seek medical help immediately. Some risks to having lipo include:
Allergic to local anesthesia
Temporary fluid accumulation
Numbness

If you suspect that your healing process is irregular, contact your surgeon immediately.
