How Safe is Liposuction?
Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries around the world—and when done properly, it is both safe and highly effective. But safety depends on more than just the procedure itself. It depends on the surgeon’s skill, the anesthesia method, and the equipment used.
Is Liposuction Safe?
Yes, liposuction is safe when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon under the right conditions. At Evita Clinic, we follow the highest safety protocols to ensure each patient’s well-being from start to finish.
One of the biggest risks in any surgery comes from anesthesia. However, unlike procedures that require general anesthesia, liposuction at Evita Clinic is performed under Sleep Anesthesia (MAC). This type of sedation allows the patient to sleep comfortably while maintaining stable breathing and circulation—significantly reducing anesthesia-related risks.
We also use Tumescent Anesthesia, a technique that injects a diluted anesthetic solution into the fat layer. This helps to:
-
Minimize bleeding
-
Reduce post-operative pain
-
Increase safety and comfort during fat removal
Since our establishment, Evita Clinic has performed thousands of liposuction procedures. And since 2009, there have been no serious complications such as bleeding, infection, or tissue necrosis.
However, if too much fat is removed at once, some patients may experience loose skin or dimpling. That’s why we always assess each patient’s skin elasticity, overall health, and age before determining the amount of fat to remove.
At Evita Clinic, we do not believe in removing “as much fat as possible”—we believe in removing the right amount safely, to achieve natural and balanced results.
What About the Equipment?
While there are many types of liposuction machines on the market, the surgeon’s technique and experience are what matter most.
At Evita Clinic, our main equipment is the Eva® liposuction system by Euromi (Belgium)—a powerful, high-speed device that can safely remove a large volume of fat. But such power also demands precision. That’s why it’s crucial that only a well-trained surgeon with extensive experience uses it. Dr. Francis Jeon, our lead surgeon, has over 18 years of body contouring experience and customizes each liposuction case for optimal results and safety.
We often combine multiple techniques:
-
Tumescent Liposuction for local anesthesia and smooth fat extraction,
-
Laser-Assisted Liposuction for skin tightening and fat emulsification,
-
Manual Precision Cannula Technique for delicate areas and final contouring.
This hybrid approach provides a more refined silhouette, quicker recovery, and lower complication risk.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes—and no.
When liposuction is done, the fat cells that are removed are gone permanently. Right after surgery, we show you the actual fat bottles or photos of them, so you can see exactly what has been taken out.
However, your body can still gain weight if new fat cells expand due to overeating or a sedentary lifestyle. That’s why we emphasize the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and regular physical activity after surgery.
Liposuction is not a shortcut. But it can be the kickstart you need.
A Boost of Motivation
Many of our patients say they’ve struggled for years with stubborn fat and low self-esteem. After liposuction, they feel a sudden, positive shift—not just in their body, but in their mindset. Seeing immediate results often gives them the motivation to continue living a healthy lifestyle.
It’s not just a procedure. It’s a turning point.
