Why does liposuction cause death

Especially women have high requirements for their body shape. If they have too much fat on their bodies, they will use various methods to lose weight. Losing weight is a very difficult thing. It requires constant persistence and good eating habits to achieve good results. Liposuction is a more direct method that can suck out fat tissue from the body, but this method has resulted in many deaths. So, why does liposuction kill people? Let’s take a look below.

The reason why liposuction can cause death may be due to some complications, which may lead to massive bleeding in the body and cause death.

Secret 1: Anesthesia and injection of swelling fluid are required before liposuction

According to experts, liposuction involves cutting a small hole at the surgical site, inserting a liposuction tube into the fat layer, and then sucking out the fat. There are many methods for liposuction, including negative pressure, resonance, and ultrasound. Before liposuction, general or local anesthesia is performed, and the same amount of swelling fluid as that used for liposuction is injected. The swelling fluid is mainly composed of sodium bicarbonate, saline and anesthetics. It can reduce the amount of bleeding during surgery and separate subcutaneous fat from some tissues to facilitate liposuction.

Secret 2: Liposuction is not for weight loss and your weight will not drop dramatically

"Liposuction is not suitable for people who are obese all over the body. It is used to improve the body curves." Experts say that if there are still some parts that cannot be reduced through a balanced diet and proper exercise, liposuction can be used to reshape them. There will not be a significant decrease in weight after liposuction, "because fat is oily and lighter. But you do look a lot thinner to the naked eye." And the more liposuction is not necessarily better, Professor Chen said. The amount of liposuction each time should be controlled at 2000-3000 ml, not exceeding the safe limit of 5000 ml. The more liposuction is done, the greater the risk of the surgery.

Secret 3: The face and legs are prone to uneven shaping

Liposuction on the face and legs must be performed with caution, as there is not much fat in these areas and they are not easy to shape. If the technique is not good enough, liposuction may easily result in uneven areas.

Secret 4: Liposuction surgery has indications and contraindications

People with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, thrombophlebitis or drug allergies and coagulation disorders are not suitable for liposuction surgery. Women who are menstruating or pregnant, as well as those over 55 years old and minors are not suitable for liposuction. For children and adolescents who are in the growth and development stage, liposuction surgery will interfere with the normal fat development in their bodies.

Secret 5: Why liposuction can cause death

In addition to severe skin necrosis leading to death, the most dangerous complications of liposuction are fat embolism and massive bleeding. Fat thrombosis is a large amount of fat that enters the blood vessels and enters the human blood circulation, thereby blocking the pulmonary artery and causing lung obstruction, leading to difficulty breathing, failure and death. According to statistics, the mortality rate caused by liposuction is one in tens of thousands, which is largely related to the doctor's experience and qualifications. Experienced doctors are very familiar with the distribution of blood vessels in the human body and will try to avoid them during surgery to prevent accidents.
