During their consultations at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, tumescent liposuction patients in Miami or Fort Lauderdale are told that complications are possible with any cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, including the tumescent liposuction. It is important to enter into any procedure aware of the possible complications as well as the benefits.

All patients of liposculpture procedures will experience some bruising and numbness. Our Fort Lauderdale and Miami tumescent liposuction patients know that these effects are normal following the procedure. Risks commonly associated with tumescent liposuction include infection, sleepiness, contour irregularities, skin lumpiness or dimpling, pigment changes, objectionable scarring, delays in healing, fat clots or blood clots, excessive fluid loss or buildup, injury to organs or nerves, reaction to the local anesthetic and drug interactions. These challenges are nearly always correctable and short term. In rare cases a second procedure may be necessary to correct complications.

The number of areas from which fat is scheduled to be removed as well as the total volume of fat that is removed will affect the time that your procedure takes and, consequently, the overall safety of the cosmetic plastic surgery. Miami and Fort Lauderdale men and women considering tumescent liposuction should talk with a doctor and do the research so that they're comfortable with the procedure.

The risk of complications during tumescent liposuction is extremely low when it is performed in an outpatient setting using a local anesthetic. Tumescent liposuction at the Miami and Fort Lauderdale locations of the South Florida Center is considered an especially safe cosmetic procedure and serious complications are very rare.

Good communication between doctor and patient is always important. We encourage you to talk with us about all of your questions and concerns about cosmetic plastic surgery.
