Like all other surgeries, facial cosmetic surgery also has certain risks associated with it. A person who goes for facial cosmetic surgery must be aware of the risk factors associated with the surgery. They must have a thorough discussion with the surgeon before going into surgery.
The most common risk factors are:
- Allergic Reactions
- Rashes
- Swelling of the skin
- Symptoms of flu
- Itching of the skin
- Infection
- Poor healing
- Lack of feeling
- Injuries to muscles
- Injuries to nerves
- Yellowing of tissues
- Scarring
In some rare cases, a facial implant can change alignment and a second surgery would be required to replace it in a proper location. Sometimes, the implant materials used might be harmful chemicals which might even cause death. So, it is always advisable to check with the surgeon regarding the potential risks involved with each surgical procedure.
