What is the defect of liposuction?

Over-resection: Sometimes you may see a defect or a visible depression in an area where liposuction was done. This may represent over-resection of tissue with the liposuction. While this can happen in any surgeon's hands, in my opinion, this is one more reason to make sure of your liposuction surgeon's training and credentials. I suggest having a surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery and in asps.

Fat loss: I think you mean what is the effect of liposuction. Liposuction is the removal of subcutaneous fat through suction cannulas. It permanently removes a portion of the fat between the skin and muscle. The effect of liposuction is to remove a small amount fat between under the skin to sculpt the body.

Overdoing it: Overdone liposuction can cause contour abnormalities. The use of smaller, finer liposuction intstruments can reduce the chance of contour defects.

Liposuction Defects.: Liposuction surgery carries risks of over resection; if this occurs patients may see or feel skin contour irregularities/defects and an overall unsatisfactory aesthetic result. Care must be taken during his procedures to avoid these types of complications.
