  • Title: Fat embolism syndrome after liposuction: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Laub DR, Laub DR.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1990 Jul; 25(1):48-52. PubMed ID: 2198844.
    Abstract:
    There have been three previous case reports of fat embolism syndrome (FES) after lipectomy. We present a case of FES diagnosed by pulmonary angiography. It seems likely that there is an incidence of subclinical fat embolization after liposuction, but conservative patient selection and aggressive postoperative management can lessen the morbidity and mortality of FES.
