What are the risks and potential complications associated with different procedures?

Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a variety of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, each with its own unique set of risks and potential complications. It is important for prospective patients to be well-informed about these factors before undergoing any treatment. For surgical procedures, such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and facelifts, risks can include anesthesia-related complications, bleeding, infection, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. Specific complications can vary based on the type of surgery performed. For example, breast augmentation may include risks associated with implant rupture or capsular contracture, while facelifts may result in nerve damage or prolonged swelling. Minimally invasive procedures, such as Botox injections and dermal fillers, also carry risks, albeit typically lower than surgical options. Possible complications may include bruising, swelling, allergic reactions, or uneven results. In rare cases, if injections are not administered properly, there could be more severe complications like vascular occlusion, where a filler blocks blood flow in vessels, leading to tissue damage. Another category of procedures, such as laser treatments and chemical peels, may pose risks including skin irritation, hyperpigmentation, and textural changes in the skin. These are generally mild but can vary based on individual skin types and conditions. It is essential for patients to have detailed consultations with experienced professionals at Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to discuss their medical history and any concerns they may have. Understanding the specific risks associated with individual procedures can aid in making informed decisions.
