Risks & Complications:
What are the risks? What are the complications associated with the surgery?

Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin that may require removal), infection and reactions to anesthesia. While plastic surgeons are trained in techniques for safely manipulating facial skin and tissue, injury to underlying structures is possible, though it is usually only temporary. Facelift incisions are most often inconspicuous, but this is not entirely predicable due to individual variations in healing.

You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after surgery.
