Abstract

The recent case report “Deaths Associated with Liposuction: Case Reports and Review of the Literature” (1) exhibits a fundamental error in understanding modern liposuction and its complications. The three cases reported were all performed under general anesthesia yet all were incorrectly classified as “tumescent liposuction.”
