Hospital privileges generally assure that the physician you select has been reviewed by his or her peers. Additional surgery is sometimes needed to correct problems arising from the original operation. An ethical surgeon will answer this question. He or she also will answer questions about the probability of problems and tell you whether there will be an additional charge in the event more surgery is required. Nobody can guarantee an absolutely successful outcome to any surgical procedure - and you should be suspicious of anyone who does.
All surgery involves some risk and unpredictability.
Although rare, people have been known to die or suffer from life-limiting disabilities after cosmetic surgery. The surgeon you choose should explain all the possible risks and complications associated with the procedure you want, as well as their degree of probability. Many doctors agree that patients are often unprepared for the side effects that may occur after cosmetic surgery. These include pain, scarring, swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection - or worse. Some patients may not be able to resume their normal activities for weeks after their operation.
