Abstract:
Fifteen hundred and twenty cases of liposuction/liposculpture were performed at Dr. M. Erfan & Bagedo Hospitals and King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah from January 1983 to December 1994. These cases were mostly females. The age group was from 16-65 years. Multiple procedures were performed in 11.68% of these cases. The change in hemoglobin and the hematocrit ratio pre- and post-operatively, and the incidence of complications, were studied. The percentage of surface area operated upon rather than the amount of fat removed was the most important relevant factor.
