Liposuction always scared me. In the buttocks, and abdomen, it's probably not that big of a hazard, If you hit something vital, it'll become symptomatic, very symptomatic, before it becomes fatal.

Drop a lung...that's a whole 'nother bucket of bad.

Reckon that happened during the fun bag removal?

I don't see any other way. That liposuction trocar can be an...aggressive, instrument. But, there's no way that it should have gone UNDER the rib, causing the pneumothorax.

This thing is 3mm in diameter...about ⅛ of an inch.

Misleading sensational headline. A more accurate one is "Lung Puncture Can Kill You."

Yeah, well so can a well-placed bullet, but that doesn't normally happen during cosmetic surgery.

Even more accurate.
