Anesthesia Risks:
Anesthesia is generally safe, but complications can arise, including adverse reactions and breathing difficulties.
Infection:
Infections at the surgical site are possible and may require antibiotics or additional treatment.
Scarring:
While efforts are made to minimise scarring, some procedures may result in visible scars.
Bleeding:
Excessive bleeding during or after surgery can lead to complications and require further intervention.
Poor Wound Healing:
Certain factors like smoking or medical conditions can hinder the healing process.
Nerve Damage:
Temporary or permanent numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the surgical area can occur.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE):
Blood clots can form, potentially causing serious health risks.
Unsatisfactory Results:
There is a possibility that the outcome may not meet your expectations.
Implant Complications:
If your procedure involves implants, complications like rupture, leakage, or shifting can occur.
Skin Necrosis:
Loss of blood supply to the skin may result in tissue death.
Pain:
Post-operative pain and discomfort are common but manageable with proper care.
Emotional Impact:
Your changed appearance may elicit emotional or psychological reactions.
