Ask your doctor if there is any published information about the outcomes of the procedure. All operations carry some risk. This is why you need to weigh the benefits of the operation against the risks of complications or side effects. Complications can occur around the time of the operation. Complications are unplanned events, such as infection, too much bleeding, reaction to anesthesia, or accidental injury.
Some people have an increased risk of complications because of other medical conditions.
In addition, there may be side effects after the operation. For the most part, side effects can be anticipated. For example, your surgeon knows that there will be swelling and some soreness at the site of the operation. Ask your surgeon about the possible complications and side effects of the operation. There is almost always some pain with surgery.
