Now not only women are very concerned about their appearance and figure, but even men are no exception. Mr. Yan, a 5 1 year-old, looks handsome, but a little "tuna belly". Unable to withstand the lobbying of friends, he went to a beauty clinic he knew to do abdominal ultrasonic liposuction. Unexpectedly, chest tightness and dyspnea occurred on the second day after operation, and he was immediately transferred to Renai Hospital for rescue.

Plastic surgeons remind that all operations are risky, and patients must have proper pre-medical evaluation to understand the risks. Lin Zhongshu, director of plastic surgery at Renai Hospital of Taipei United Hospital, pointed out that when patients were sent to hospital, they had symptoms of anxiety, dyspnea, unstable blood pressure and even shock. Fat embolism was initially suspected, but after examination, it was found that there was a considerable area of congestion in the abdomen. Generally, this phenomenon does not appear just after liposuction. Upon inquiry, it was found that the patient had the habit of using aspirin, and the clinic doctor did not instruct him to stop taking it, resulting in serious sequelae.

The first-aid method of the medical team is to eliminate intra-abdominal bleeding through abdominal CT, stabilize the patient's condition with a large amount of infusion and blood transfusion, go to the intensive care unit for follow-up treatment and observation, and transfer to the ward two days later. The patient was discharged smoothly within three days and saved his life.

Dr. Lin Zhongshu pointed out that liposuction sculpture can really help patients with local sculpture, so that the motionless parts of the mountain can be properly improved. On the one hand, it can enhance their confidence in wearing clothes, and sometimes it can also enhance their motivation to lose weight. Therefore, liposuction is an enduring project in cosmetic surgery.

But all operations are risky, and liposuction may also encounter serious fat embolism, hematoma, postoperative infection, postoperative unevenness and so on. He reminded patients to have proper pre-medical evaluation and to understand the risks when they love beauty.

Lin Zhongshu reminded that patients should choose professional medical institutions when seeking medical treatment. They should not only publicize what they will do, but also know how to avoid complications, perform safe surgery, and whether they have the ability to deal with subsequent complications, which is more secure.
