When performed by a skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Papanicolaou, Fat Grafting is a very safe procedure. That being said, as with any invasive treatment, there are some potential risks associated with Fat Grafting. These complications can include, but are not limited to:
Allergic reactions
Asymmetry
Bleeding and bruising
Changes in sensation
Cyst formation
Fat necrosis
Infection
Overcorrection or under-correction
