There are risks with all cosmetic surgery procedures. These should be fully explained to you by your Plastic Surgeon at the consultation. Each particular operation carries its own risks of course, but generally speaking there are risks associated with anaesthesia for which you will be screened prior to surgery.

In terms of the surgery, then the usual risks of any surgery apply, these are, but not limited to,

bleeding

haematoma

seroma

infection

swelling and bruising ( very likely in most cases )

skin necrosis

poor healing of the scars

Of course, there is always a risk that the results of the surgery may not turn out as intended. The above risks maybe a contributory factor. Sometimes cosmetic surgery has to be repeated to get the results originally anticipated
