Multi-Layer Tissue Injury of the Abdominal Wall Caused by Improper Treatment of Subcutaneous Hydrops After Liposuction.

Abstract

Liposuction has been popular with the public since its inception. The fat accumulated in the body is sucked outside the body through negative pressure suction, thereby reducing the fat cells in the body and achieving the effect of local plasticity. Although liposuction is a relatively safe procedure, due to the lack of correct judgment of the patient's condition and treatment by quite a few cosmetic practitioners, the complications of liposuction are gradually increasing. We describe a case of subcutaneous hydrops after lumboabdominal liposuction, which was found to have multi-layer tissue defects of the right lower abdominal wall and local peritoneal rupture after multiple sclerosing agent injections and two debridement procedures. This case provides us with a warning about the use of sclerosing agents.
