What are the main risks of plastic surgery?

Answer 1

Eyelift surgery is a relatively uncomplicated one and has a low risk of side effects. That being said, no surgery is perfect and there is always a small chance that something may go wrong, including infection and reactions to the anesthesia. Though minor complications are more common, there still exists the possibility of major complications. The most common side effects of blepharoplasty are double or blurred vision for a few days after surgery, bruising and swelling. Double or blurred vision that lasts for more than three or four days should be reported to your surgeon. But bruising and swelling can last up to a month after the surgery. Your eyes may be dry and itchy for the first week, and then become teary and sensitive to light for a few weeks after that. You may notice that your scars remain a pink color for several months. The scarring should lighten up and become almost invisible before long. However, some people have a genetic tendency to scar worse than others, which could contribute to more visible scarring. Your ability to heal will also have an affect on the appearance of scars. You may find tiny whiteheads along the area where your incision was made. These can be removed by your doctor using a very fine needle and should not leave any permanent marks. More severe, though much less common, side effects include difficulty closing your eyes during sleep. This is usually temporary, but in extremely rare circumstances it can be permanent. Further surgery may be needed if you begin to notice the lower lids pulling down. Sometimes this will remedy itself, however. Hematomas can occur as a result of blood pooling around the eye. This may resolve itself, but if it does not, or if it is unusually large, it will need to be drained. If too much fatty tissue is removed from the eye area, the result may be a sunken appearance. There is also the possibility that the eyes may no longer look identical if the surgery is not performed exactly the same on each eye. The most severe complications are very rare. These include damage to the surface of the eye or the tissue surrounding the eye, acute glaucoma, and partial or complete blindness. Though, again, most of these side effects are very isolated, you should take everything into consideration when thinking about cosmetic surgery.

Answer 2

#1 risk would be using a Surgeon who is not Board Certified in Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery. You can go to an eye doctor and he might tell you that he could fix up your eyes cosmetically and you can be destroyed. Make sure you go to a Plastic Surgeon who specializes in what you want done.

#2 risk is not having an Anestia expert putting you under. Too many people don't come out after a nurse administers the anestesia. GET the credentials of the person putting you to sleep.

#3 risk is looking to do a procedure on "the cheap". You get what you pay for - save your money and go to the top Doctor.

Answer 3

There are few complications associated with eye plastic surgery, so long as the surgery is performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon. Complications that can arise include temporary swelling, irritation or infection (treatable with antibiotics), scarring, and/or temporary blurry vision.

Answer 4

The main risks of plastic surgery are bleeding, scarring, fluid build up under the skin, infection and nerve damage. The most serious risk is death, although that is also the most rare risk by far.

Answer 5

people may experience difficulty closing their eyes. Dry eye syndrome may develop, requiring the use of artificial tears to lubricate the eye

Answer 6

Laser eye surgery is kind of dangerous. The main risk is that if the surgeon messes up you could end up leaving blind. You could also lose more of your vision, or be color blind.

Answer 7

Like any other surgery also plastic surgeries are not without risks and complications. Some examples of possible issues include "scarring", "nerve damage", "infections" or "necrosis".

Answer 8

Plastic surgery on the eyes can result in some minor complications such as scarring, bruising and swelling, minor burning, physical discomfort in the eye area and infection.

Answer 9

There are many risks of having plastic surgery. You can be left with an infection and poor wound healing and a lot of pain, depending on the procedure. You may have to have surgery repeated.
