As with all cosmetic procedures, complications following a facial rejuvenation surgery are possible and doctors will make patients aware of all potential health risks prior to making a final decision. Some of these include but are not limited to: poor healing, infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
The best way to avoid post-surgery complications is to precisely follow surgical instructions and report any abnormal symptoms or side effects as soon as they occur. Swelling, bruising, neck tightness, numbness and discomfort are the most common side effects.
