Body Contouring and Liposuction: Assessment and Risks

Body contouring covers different operations and non-surgical treatments intended to change selected areas. Liposuction removes local subcutaneous fat but is not a weight-loss procedure and cannot guarantee a particular body shape or confidence outcome.

Assessment and possible procedures

A surgeon should review health, medicines, smoking, weight stability, skin quality, fat distribution, previous surgery, hernia and expectations. Options may include no treatment, liposuction, skin-removal surgery, staged procedures or selected non-surgical care.

Risks and recovery

Possible surgical complications include bleeding, infection, seroma, contour irregularity, asymmetry, altered sensation, skin injury, blood clots, fat embolism, anaesthetic complications and revision. Non-surgical methods have separate risks and generally offer more limited changes. Recovery depends on the procedure and individual healing.
