Plasma fiber lipolysis technology has the advantages of minimal damage and fast recovery. However, this does not mean that it is completely without risks. If one only pursues cheap and effective weight loss during the surgery, the following risks and side effects may occur after the procedure.
Hematoma and pain
Fiber lipolysis involves dissolving the subcutaneous fat tissue, which can result in hematoma and pain after the surgery. However, the pain is generally less severe than that of liposuction. Patients who experience severe pain can consult their doctors for pain relief medication. Anesthesia is used during the surgery, so there is no pain during the procedure.
Local numbness
The human body contains peripheral nerves and blood vessels in the adipose tissue. During the fiber lipolysis procedure, it is inevitable to damage the nerves and blood vessels. Damaging blood vessels can cause hematoma, while damaging nerves can lead to local numbness. The more fiber lipolysis is performed, the more severe the nerve damage may be.
Skin laxity
After fiber lipolysis, the subcutaneous tissue loses support, which can result in skin laxity, especially when excessive amounts of fat are dissolved. Therefore, it is important to control the amount of fat dissolved during the surgery. If a large amount of fat needs to be removed, multiple procedures may be necessary, and post-operative skin tightening treatments are generally performed.
Skin irregularities
Uneven fat dissolution is the main cause of skin irregularities after fiber lipolysis. This is often due to insufficient experience or surgical errors on the part of the doctor. The issue can be addressed through secondary corrective surgery.
Infection
Fiber lipolysis is a minimally invasive technique that involves placing a 200-micron fiber under the skin tissue to directly dissolve fat. If the surgical instruments are not thoroughly sterilized or if the post-operative wound care is inadequate, there is a risk of infection.
