Adverse events following aesthetic submental liposuction (ASL) occur in 12.9% of cases, with most being minor complications like seromas. Further research is needed to fully understand ASL complication rates and risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Aesthetic submental liposuction (ASL) is a common procedure for neck and lower facial contouring.
  • There is a lack of consensus on the frequency and characteristics of adverse events associated with ASL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and estimate the frequency of adverse events following ASL.
  • To identify the key clinicodemographic characteristics of these adverse events.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of observational studies (case reports and case series) was conducted.
  • Searches were performed across 6 databases and gray literature, adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
  • Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute tools, followed by descriptive statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Thirteen studies involving 2,085 ASL cases were included, identifying 270 adverse events (12.9% event rate).
  • The majority of patients were female (80.0%) with a mean age of 40.5 years.
  • Minor complications (74.8%) included seromas (21.1%), skin irregularities (19.1%), and platysmal banding (18.5%).

Conclusions:

  • Adverse events after ASL are relatively common but generally minor and manageable outpatient.
  • Significant limitations in current evidence necessitate well-designed studies to better quantify complication rates and identify predictive factors.
