Despite being perceived to be a technically simple procedure, poor patient selection, sub-optimal technical execution or sub-optimal peri‑operative management could lead to significant harm. This guidance was produced on behalf of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) by the expert liposuction group. The guidance is based on the evidence available in the literature along with specialist expert opinion in aesthetic liposuction to provide plastic surgeons with consensus recommendation. The aim is to identify best practice to maximise the safety of patients. This article summarises current practices and safety consider ations and outlines recommendations covering various aspects of patient care.
