If you decided to have liposuction, some of the side effects may be loss of nerve function, extra fluid retention, or it could cause friction burns that may be rather unpleasant. Consult with a physician and weigh all options.

The two major side effects of liposuction are the same as any other procedure where the skin's outside barrier is crossed. These risks are infection and bleeding. If numbing medication is used, allergic reaction is another possible risk.
