Liposuction is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like any procedure, it carries some risks. Common issues include mild bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, and soreness in the treated areas. Infection is rare but can occur if proper hygiene and post-operative care aren’t followed.

Uneven fat removal or contour irregularities can happen, especially if large areas are treated or skin elasticity is poor. Sagging skin may occur in people with loose or aging skin. Choosing a qualified surgeon, following pre- and post-operative instructions, wearing compression garments, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help minimize these risks and ensure the best results.
