Abstract

Background

Lipoplasty and its associated complications are well researched and documented. In most articles, the focus has been on the major life-threatening complications of liposuction. Most of these major complications are related to conditions other than surgical trauma per se, namely anaesthesia, hypothermia, long duration of surgery and fluid overload. With the exception of pneumothorax and abdominal perforation, surgical trauma does not cause major complications.

Although most surgical complications are classified as minor, they present as major events for patients and the treating physician. All efforts to prevent even minor complications to enhance patient satisfaction are needed.
