Hangzhou Health and Wellness Committee informed
Liposuction surgery-related medical malpractice is not an isolated phenomenon. Entering the word "liposuction" into the Chinese judgment website, one can retrieve hundreds of judgment documents about liposuction cases, among which, at least three cases have caused deaths.
Complaint data on the official website of the China Consumers' Association (CCA) also shows that from 2015 to 2020, the number of complaints received by CCA organizations in the medical beauty industry increased from 483 to 7,233, with the number of complaints increasing by nearly 14 times during the five-year period.
How does liposuction actually work? Chinese Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery member Li Zuo introduced, liposuction is like a syringe pumping water, through the subcutaneous fat to play some swelling fluid, the fat particles swell, and then pumped out through negative pressure. Li Zuo said, in liposuction surgery, the most important thing is the surgeon's proficiency and experience, with what equipment is not the most important.
Is this really the case? In fact, for liposuction surgery, the risk of an anesthetic accident is even far greater than for liposuction operations.
Xie Fang, a practicing physician at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Hospital of Plastic Surgery, explains: "If you have an endotracheal tube, there will be a ventilator to monitor the indicators of the instrument; if you don't have an endotracheal tube, it's purely by the doctor's watchful eye, and it's entirely up to the anesthesiologist to keep your life safe. If the anesthesiologist is a little bit lax, maybe your breathing will be inhibited during liposuction."
In addition, liposuction carries risks of unevenness, hyperpigmentation, fat embolism, skin necrosis, tissue damage, and post-operative infection.
Li Xin, deputy director of the Face and Neck Plastic Surgery Center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Plastic Surgery Hospital: "The liposuction range is actually very large, and once the infection occurs after it diffuses throughout the area, it is a very serious consequence."
Qi Zuoliang, vice president of the Chinese Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, said that serious complications after surgery is very scary, such as causing fat embolism can cause death, if the amount of fat suction is too much, too many parts, resulting in a large number of patients in the process of surgery caused by hemorrhagic shock serious can also lead to death. In addition, the large area of suction after the complication of infection caused by septic fasciitis, due to the infected lesion of the bacteria release a large number of toxins, can also lead to toxicity or infectious shock and death. In addition, there are also complications such as unevenness after suction, fluid accumulation, and even neurovascular damage, causing local numbness and sensory impairment.
Therefore, liposuction is not something you can do just because you want to. You need to be evaluated and physically examined before surgery. Systemic diseases or infectious diseases are not suitable for surgery. The presence of abnormal blood clotting, too little subcutaneous fat, allergy to anesthetics and many other conditions are also not suitable for liposuction.
Xie Fang, a licensed physician at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Hospital of Plastic Surgery, said, "The new coronavirus nucleic acid test, the test of the whole blood and the ability of coagulation, liver function, kidney function, but also electrocardiogram test, as well as chest CT, if the hemoglobin is lower than the normal index, indicating that there is an abnormality of the coagulation function, and in the process of extensive large-area pumping, the amount of blood loss will be too much. , which must not be done at this time."
It is worth noting that liposuction is not a one-off. After liposuction, the body will have a compensatory effect, the body wants to balance the loss of fat, a short period of time, the speed of gastrointestinal absorption of fat will become faster, if the diet is not controlled, easy to expand the fat cells and back to fat.
