The main risk of the procedure is a surgically relevant postoperative bleeding, i.e., the accumulation of blood in the wound cavity usually within the first 48 hours, thereby making it necessary to remove the blood clot in a surgical procedure. By continuously improving our surgical procedures, we have been able to reduce the incidences of this complication to well below 5%.
In addition, wound healing disorders and scar maturation disorders can occur, which can usually be controlled without further surgery. Sometimes minor corrective surgery is necessary to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and satisfying result in the long term.
