Broken and Retained Tip of Liposuction Cannula in the Scalp

Liposuction is a common cosmetic procedure and is generally considered safe. The complications can be avoided or reduced if the procedure is performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon. Local complications like seromas, hematomas, and ecchymosis are relatively common[1] and extensively been reported in literature. However, the breakage of liposuction cannula is an extremely rare complication and hence we report this case.
