Quote from: musicmaker on April 23, 2015, 12:18:24 AMMmm, I have never met anyone who has died from this procedure.


LOL I hope not! It would either mean that you were dead and in an afterlife yourself, or that they came back to this world from the other side. Spooky!

Does anyone know when fat embolism occurs? Can it happen all the way through the LL? Or only a few hours after the surgery?

Quote from: musicmaker on April 25, 2015, 03:54:29 PMFat embolism syndrome can occur in immediate conjunction with a precipitating factor (trauma, surgery...) or it can be delayed for up to 3 days, although 85% of cases are apparent within 48 hours

So you mean that after 3 days and I'm still fine, I don't need to worry about fat embolism anymore?

Thank you for your answer Musicmaker How likely is death? Maybe before my LL I must write a letter to my family if I die...

Quote from: programdude on April 21, 2015, 12:32:20 AMBig d did post about a near death encounter with a fat embolism.

Like anything in life there are risks, but it is quite low.


I'm interested about BigD, where can I find this post?
I'm very worried about some LL patients' deaths recently happened.

Death is very unlikely from cosmetic ll. This is, of course, a different situation for trauma ll cases and the such.

You start as a cosmetic patient but then you become a medical case. It can be a very slow death, taking years and several surgeries.

I think losings ones legs would be a more common occurrence than death.

but I have yet to see one case of anyone losing their legs due to cosmetic LL.
