AI model can predict blood loss in liposuction

Every year, over 2.3 million patients undergo liposuction to remove stubborn fat from face, abdomen, thighs, arms and neck

A newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) model is highly accurate in predicting blood loss in patients undergoing high-volume cosmetic surgery procedures, such as liposuction, according to a study.

While liposuction performed in more than 2.3 million patients per year to remove stubborn fat from the face, abdomen, thighs, arms, or neck is generally safe, excessive blood loss is a potentially serious complication, especially when higher volumes of fat are removed.
