Possible Risks of Neck Liposuction

Complications may arise in any type of plastic surgery, even though they are rare. This is true for neck liposuction as well. These are a few complications of neck liposuction:

• Extended healing time
• Infection
• Allergic reaction to anesthesia or medication
• Blood or fat clots since these can migrate to lungs and result in their death
• Fluid accumulation
• Excessive fluid loss since it can lead to shock
• Scarring
• Friction burns
• Numb skin
• Damage to the nerves or skin
• Changes in skin pigmentation
• Damage to vital organs

Severe Complications for Neck Liposuction

Severe complications are rare in neck liposuction. However, you should take them into consideration while deciding whether neck liposuction is right for you. The complications include:

• Cardiac arrest
• Blood clots
• Adverse anesthesia reaction
• Cardiac arrhythmia
• Allergic reaction to medication
• Excessive bleeding
• Severe drug interactions
• Permanent nerve damage
• Brain damage
• Seizures
• Brain damage from anesthesia

Excessive Liposuction Hazards

Removing too much fat from the target area at one time is a common danger of neck liposuction. The same holds true for having too many liposuction sessions in a single day. Excessive liposuction can cause lumps, dents, and sagging skin.

How to Minimize Risks

You can minimize risks and complications arising out of liposuction by disclosing your medical history to your doctor. You should also discuss all your over-the-counter medications and prescriptions that you take on a regular basis. You and your physician should ensure that you are an ideal candidate for liposuction. You should fully understand what is involved in the procedure before getting it.

You should always follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care and surgical preparation for maximizing the success of liposuction and minimizing your risks. If you are a smoker, your plastic surgeon will recommend you to stop smoking at least two weeks before and after the surgery. You can choose another fat removal avenue if you are not comfortable with neck liposuction.

Making an Informed and Independent Decision

It is necessary that the decision for getting a plastic surgery is of the patient. The decision should not be influenced by celebrities, friends, or magazines. Patients should let the treatment provider know their decision is voluntary by signing consent forms. The consent forms should mention that the patient is aware of all potential risks involved in the procedure.

Patients should ideally read through the plastic surgeon’s website for understanding more about their practice, experience, and background. Patient should also request for a brief office tour during the initial pre-operative consultation. They should meet team members assisting the surgeon to become more familiar with the practice.

You should ask the surgeon the following questions:

Do you have specific training in neck and facial plastic surgery?

Board certified facial plastic surgeons are extensively trained in their particular field. They are likely to provide more successful outcomes as compared to less experienced plastic surgeons. These surgeons are better equipped for developing individualized surgical plans. They are also more adept at dealing with emergency situations. Their surgical plans can be customized for suiting specific needs of a patient.

Where will you perform the cosmetic surgery?

Typically, patients undergo neck liposuction cosmetic surgery at an accredited private surgical suite, surgery center, or hospital. Each option has their own benefits and drawbacks along with different costs. Ideally, cosmetic surgeons should have operating privileges at more than a single surgical center or hospital. They would need to work with an anesthesiologist if the neck liposuction is performed under general anesthesia.

What is the estimate cost of the neck liposuction surgery?

Neck liposuction surgery is an elective procedure. Your insurance coverage may not necessarily cover the costs. This is why you should know the various payment methods, surgical costs involved and available financing options. Estimated overall costs should account for pre- and post-operational expenses as well.

Does the procedure involve any risks or complications?

Patients should know the risks involved with the procedure for making an enlightened decision. A dedicated surgeon will ensure that the patients are completely informed about the risks before going ahead with the surgery.
