Hemoglobin Level, Coagulopathy Profile and Electrolyte Balance

What is Impact of Amount Versus Surface Area of Liposuction on Haematological Parameters, Coagulopathy Profile and Electrolyte Balance? Liposuction involves the creation of extensive subsurface trauma, comparable in many respects to the massive injury of an internal burn. Liposuction commences with cannula aspiration of several liters of fluid-engorged adipose tissue, during which small feeder vessels are inevitably torn. Operating on multiple areas increases the area of injury regardless of whether just small amounts of fat are removed. Because many of the complications associated with large volume liposuction are related to fluid shifts and fluid balance, classifying the procedure based on the total volume removed from the patient, including fat, wetting solution, and blood, makes more sense to evaluate the damage made by the procedure. Safety and aesthetic issues define large-volume liposuction as having a 5,000-ml aspirate, mega-volume liposuction as having an 8,000-ml aspirate, and giganto-volume liposuction as having an aspirate of 12,000 ml or more.
