We endeavour to make sure our patients are as informed as possible. While some of the potential risks seem frightening, it is important for you to be aware that they can occur. During consultation, Dr Lim will take you through the risks involved. Some of the possible complications are: -- Infection -- Temporary or permanent numbness around operated sites -- Accumulation of blood (haematoma) around the surgical site which requires drainage -- Keloids and hypertrophic (or raised) scars -- Areas of skin that do not heal and may require a skin graft.
