Cosmetic surgery services and complications
Liposuction is a surgery aimed at removing excess fat from the body. This procedure is typically recommended for individuals who have been unable to reduce resistant fat in certain areas of their body despite following a diet and exercising. Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and face.
Complications Liposuction: Common risks include bruising, swelling, pain, and temporary skin numbness. Rare but serious complications include infection, skin irregularities, fat embolism, internal organ injury, and seroma (fluid accumulation).
Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck surgery, is a procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the abdomen. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals who suffer from excess fat or skin in the abdominal area, which may have resulted from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. The goal of abdominoplasty is to flatten the abdomen, remove excess fat, and tighten the skin of the stomach.
Complications Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Common and temporary issues include pain, swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness. More serious but rare complications include infection, hematoma (blood collection), seroma (fluid collection), blood clots and pulmonary embolism, internal organ injury, poor wound healing, and abnormal scarring.
Facelift surgery is a procedure performed to reduce the signs of aging and improve the appearance of the face. In this procedure, excess skin is removed and the underlying tissues are tightened, reducing wrinkles and sagging skin, resulting in a younger and fresher appearance. This surgery is typically performed for individuals who have developed sagging skin and facial muscle laxity due to aging, stress, or weight fluctuations.
Complications Facelift: Complications include bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, heart and lung issues, facial nerve injury (causing weakness), fluid accumulation, infection, numbness, or other skin sensation changes.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery is typically recommended to remove excess skin, fat, or wrinkles around the eyes that have developed due to aging or genetic factors. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Complications Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): Risks include swelling and bruising, dry eyes, itching, eyelid asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, infection, bleeding, and in rare cases, nerve or vision damage.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape of the nose. This surgery can be done for aesthetic or medical reasons. In cosmetic surgery, the goal is to improve the appearance of the nose to enhance facial harmony, while in medical surgery, it can be performed to treat breathing problems or to correct nasal injuries.
Complications Rhinoplasty: Risks include bleeding and bruising, nasal pain, scarring at incision sites (in open rhinoplasty), infection (if medications and aftercare are neglected), breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and drooping of the nasal tip.
