Abstract:
Liposuction is one of the most common surgical interventions in aesthetic surgery, technically easy to perform and is also carried out by many non-plastic surgeons. However, this operation can have severe complications, and dealing with them can impose a great financial burden on the tax payer-supported national health-care systems. We report here about a patient, who was hospitalised for complications after a failed office-based liposuction. The ensuing costs of treatment are also discussed.
