Are there any known serious complications from laser liposculpture?

Risks of laser lipo: Risks of liposculpture surgery include bleeding and bruising, infection, multiple small scars, fluid collections, asymmetry, contour irregularities, and blood clots. The laser adds a small risk of burns to the skin, but is unlikely with an experienced surgeon. http://www.dassmd.com/liposuction/index.html.
