What Are The Potential Risks And Complications of FaceLift Surgery?
Cosmetic procedures are generally safe, but every surgery carries some risk. These include
- Hematoma (collection of blood under the skin)
- Infection and bleeding
- Complications of anesthesia
- Injury to nerves that control facial muscles
- Numbness
- Scarring
Usually, these conditions improve within days or weeks. Sometimes, however, these conditions are permanent, or more surgery is necessary to correct them.
