You should start with death — and work your way down the list.
There are many potential complications from cosmetic surgery, including scarring, bleeding, prolonged bruising, skin loss, delayed healing, nerve damage, and wound infections. With liposuction, other complications include perforated abdominal organs, tissue infection, and the body going into shock if too much fat is removed.
You should have your procedure performed in either a licensed ambulatory surgical center or a hospital. Having a well-trained plastic surgeon to minimize these potential problems in advance is of paramount importance to your safety.
