Sure I agree with you, safety should be given first priority. Surgeon should take care of complications involved and should suggest the best surgery. Because sometimes it is too risky to undergo liposuction for patients with other health problems.

yup,I had one major sepsis on a lipo + fat transfer. her BMI was 35.Taught me big lesson.So now I try to bring all pre-op lipos down to a BMI of 30 or as close as possible. and of course, full medical clearance. and overnight stay if > 5 L with IV hydration, post-op. monitoring etc… in hospital.
for diet, I use every tricks possible: Dukan diet, and I add frequently Topamax which works great. I make all post-op. walk 3 miles/ day from day 1. I can get weight loss of up to 25 Lbs post-op in 3 months. Now the question is: can all those patients maintain the weight loss/results in 10 years ? anyone studied that ? longterm outcome of Liposuction ?

I would caution that a surgeon not only needs to be cognizant of the inherent risks of the particular procedure but also to general risks, ie anaesthetic, periorperative complications (DVT, PE), etc in patients with elevated BMI’s. I would think that the increased risk of these non direct liposuction complications in the more obese patient would more than offset the slightly lower risk shown in this current study analysis. This afterall is elective surgery and safety should be number one priority at all times. Comments?
