Not usually: Liposuction is a reasonably safe and effective surgery. Your doctor's experience and techniques are important, and you should ask how experienced is the md. Safe anesthesia use is important, and you should follow the instructions following surgery very closely. You should have an updated physical and labs by your primary doctor to determine health issues first.

No: Assuming you are in good health, a good candidate for liposuction surgery, select your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist carefully, and have the procedure performed in a fully accredited facility, liposuction surgery is a safe procedure with a high level of patient satisfaction.

It is surgery.: Liposuction is relatively safe in a young, healthy patient that only requires minimal fat removal. However it is surgery and does carry the risk of anesthesia, blood loss and blood clots.
