Overweight can cause the elevation of total cholesterol concentration and blood pressure, and increase the risk of coronary artery disease. Obesity increases the likelihood of other cardiovascular risk factors, especially high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has therefore defined some guidelines regarding risk factors to be taken into account such as, for example, not exceeding 5 liters of fat to lipoaspirate as a limit amount and according to the traditional parameters of plastic surgery.

Many surgeons now use the BMI to determine the amount of fat that can be safely extracted from a patient. According to the mentioned research it is important to take into account this index something that has been used as constants to determine the size and weight of the patient.

Regarding complications, it has been possible to determine that there is a 1.5% rate with few serious complications and no death, the most common complication being the accumulation of fluid that requires drainage.

Finally, it is necessary to clarify that the duration of the surgery, procedures associated with it and the general condition of the patient are parameters to be taken into account when performing the risk assessment of the patient who is going to undergo a liposuction that must always be performed by a certified plastic surgeon.
