The purpose of this exhibit is: To review the definition, techniques and types of liposuction. To understand normal imaging findings after liposuction. To review imaging findings of complication due to liposuction. The major teaching points of this exhibit are Liposuction is less invasive procedure which can be performed in obese patients and there are several different techniques and types. Subcutaneous emphysema, fat infiltration and fluid collection are normal findings immediate after liposuction. Complications related to liposuction are vascular injury, abdominal wall defect, bowel wall injury, infection and pulmonary embolism.  

Definition of liposuction Image illustration of techniques of liposuction: SAL (suction-assisted liposuction), UAL (Ultrasound-) VAL (Vaser-), PAL (Power-), LAL (Laser-) Image illustration of types of liposuction: Dry, Wet, Super wet, tumescent Normal imaging findings after liposuction Imaging findings of complication due to liposuction: active bleeding or hematoma, ventral herniation of bowel, perforation of bowel, necrotizing fasciitis, pulmonary embolism
