[Explanation] Xiao Ran, a 33-year-old Hangzhou female internet celebrity, recently passed away due to liposuction infection.

It is understood that Xiao Ran has successively performed waist and abdomen liposuction repair, double upper arm liposuction and secondary breast augmentation with autologous fat during the operation.

Li Weiwei, director of the Medical Aesthetic Department of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, believes that prolonged surgery and changes in posture during surgery may have caused infections.

  The first aspect is that her surgery may take a long time, so we said it might be that the front abdomen and thighs may have been sucked, including the waist, and then turned over again and did the front.

There may be some risk of infection during the operation, because we said that once the posture changes, then some places may be padded, and our sterile towel padded is not in place.

In addition, the operation time is too long, and the girl herself should not be fat, so the endurance of her body may be limited.

  [Explanation] Li Weiwei said that liposuction is not a simple "weight loss method", as a "body partial plastic surgery", it should not be abused blindly.

  So liposuction is not actually a bariatric surgery, it should be a partial body shaping surgery.

Our liposuction surgery is more suitable for people who are adjusted through a healthy diet. After exercising, I found out how the girl’s belly can’t be reduced, or the inner thigh can’t be removed by exercise. Then this is the time. Our true liposuction indications.

  [Explanation] Li Weiwei said that liposuction itself is not difficult, but as the amount of liposuction increases, the degree of difficulty also increases.

At present, the operation is divided into 1-4 grades according to the difficulty and complexity of the operation in clinical practice.

Some general anesthesia operations such as "Zygomatic Arch Reduction Surgery" and "Abdominal Wall Plastic Surgery" are all four-level high-risk operations.

  Generally speaking, it is not a particularly difficult operation.

Liposuction is actually a first-level operation if it is less than 1000 ml, so 1000-5000 is 1000-2500 as if it is second-level, and 2500-5000 or more is third-level.

  In addition, we know that some people go through bariatric surgery, or after giving birth after pregnancy, the skin on the abdomen appears loose. At this time, if it is pure, there will be some accumulation of fat. It’s loose, so at this time, we’re actually saying it’s like doing a tummy lift. When we have a C-section or we say fat people will make a "ditch" underneath, and then (through) this "ditch." When we go in, we have to divide it all the way to the "xiphoid", that is, the range of our costal arch is divided to the top, then the skin is flattened, and the belly button needs to be repositioned.

So this type of surgery actually has a wide range, this is also a fourth-level surgery, called abdominal wall plastic surgery.

  [Explanation] Plastic surgery has become more common in recent years, but Li Weiwei urges everyone to treat plastic surgery rationally.

  It’s not that plastic surgery is a bad thing, so if it’s an indication that has this treatment, then he will achieve a better life condition through the treatment, which can improve his psychology and improve his body shape, including Improve his self-confidence.

In this case, I think it can encourage patients.

We have encountered this. The nose has been done seven or eight times, and the chest has been done seven or eight times. Every time we are not satisfied, we still need to adjust it. Going to different hospitals to find different doctors may not be a correct aesthetic. Observe, then this situation will definitely increase the risk of treatment accordingly.
