Dr. Hyung-jun Kim of NANA Plastic Surgery explains, "Because liposuction does not involve excessive skin incisions and touches nothing other than the subcutaneous fat,

the chance of infection is actually almost nil compared to other surgeries, with virtually no complications or after-effects."

He emphasizes, "The risk of accidents can be reduced only when experienced medical staff and an on-site anesthesiologist closely monitor the patient's condition while concentrating on the surgery."

 

Liposuction is a leading surgical procedure that shows outstanding results among the methods for treating obesity. With a single procedure, it fundamentally removes accumulated fat in areas with well-developed subcutaneous fat such as the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and upper arms, so its effectiveness is naturally high.

 

Liposuction treats obesity by inserting a thin metal cannula into the subcutaneous fat layer and removing only the fat cells. Because it does not involve excessive skin incisions and touches nothing other than the subcutaneous fat, the chance of infection is actually almost nil compared to other surgeries, with virtually no complications or after-effects.

 

Nevertheless, some people still fear liposuction. This is because news reports of patients being put at risk during liposuction surgery do appear from time to time.

 

So why have we come to think of liposuction as a dangerous surgery? Most accidents following liposuction are caused by problems with anesthesia.

 

Liposuction may look simple at first glance, but it is a highly demanding surgery that requires delicate manual skill. The risk of accidents can be reduced only when experienced medical staff and an on-site anesthesiologist closely monitor the patient's condition while concentrating on the surgery.

 

In addition, to make the surgery safer, every precaution must be taken before surgery, such as determining in advance through detailed examinations whether the patient is at risk under anesthesia and whether they may have an adverse reaction to any medications. <Dr. Hyung-jun Kim, NANA Plastic Surgery>
