Liposuction is a surgical procedure and there is a risk of bleeding, infection, and blood clot formation in the legs. The removal of too much fat can result in excessive blood loss. Also, removal of too much fat can create an unnatural and undesired appearance.

In Liposuction there is a risk of too much of the fluids injected into the body being absorbed into the bloodstream. Epinephrine (adrenaline) and Lidocaine (local anesthesia) are commonly found in the fluids injected into the targeted areas. These fluids can become toxic if too much is absorbed by the body.

The results of Liposuction can also be unfavorable if the skin looks wavy or lumpy. When performing liposuction, a doctor has a choice in the techniques he or she wishes to use. Each technique has its own benefits and risks.
