Abstract

Introduction: Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures worldwide, mainly due to its quick aesthetic results and high demand among patients seeking a defined body silhouette. However, complications and even deaths associated with this procedure have been documented. Objectives: This study reviews clinical findings and risk factors that contribute to serious complications and mortality in patients undergoing liposuction, with the aim of identifying the main risk factors and proposing safety measures for the practice.Methodology: This review was carried out by searching databases such as PubMed, Scielo and MEDLINE, covering studies published between 2000 and 2023. Articles reporting cases of complications and deaths resulting from liposuction were considered. The inclusion criteria included observational studies, case reports and systematic reviews, totaling 18 articles. Results and Discussion: Studies show that the volume aspirated, the duration of the procedure and the surgical technique are critical determinants of liposuction safety. The practice of safety measures, such as the use of modern technologies for visualization and control of the procedure, as well as the appropriate choice of patient, is essential to reduce the number of serious complications. Conclusion: Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can offer good aesthetic results when performed on carefully selected patients. However, contraindications must be strictly observed to minimize risks and ensure patient safety. Detailed preoperative assessments and postoperative follow-up are essential to reduce risks and optimize the results of the procedure.
