A Lower Body Lift is a surgical procedure, and all surgical procedures carry some risks. With regard to a Lower Body Lift, there are special considerations that need to be taken into account, which will be discussed during your pre-operative consultation. Complications include bleeding, infection, and fluid collections, which may lead to the opening of your wounds. Although unlikely, an injury to deep tissue layers can also occur, which may require additional surgery to ensure ideal results. More severe complications, such as Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism, are extremely rare. If suspected, these conditions need to be treated urgently and aggressively.
