There are general risks, such as the risk of bleeding, infection, and injury to deeper structures. However, these are very low risks especially in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon. The common risks are contour abnormalities (dents, rippling, unevenness), sensation changes (either hypo-sensation or hyper-sensation), scar tissue formation, poor incision healing. Overall liposuction is a very common surgery with minimal risks when performed by an experienced, qualified physician.
