Before having any elective surgery performed, one must understand common complications. Any surgery involves a certain amount of risk. There are currently many types of facelift surgeries available and they all have their own rate of frequency contributed to risks.
Some of the most popular facelift surgeries available today are less invasive and include thread lifts and barb suture lifts. Although they are less invasive, they still can have ill side effects and risks. These procedures have a low risk of creating Stensen duct laceration and suture visibility. Both of these can be repaired by an experienced surgeon.
Traditional facelifts have greater risks of causing nerve damage, hematoma, bruising, infection, hair loss around the areas of incision and other unmentioned risks. Some of these can be repaired with the help of a surgeon, while others will be lifelong issues.
To avoid unnecessary risks, follow all of a doctor’s preliminary operation and post operation instructions. This will create the best overall results, but there is no clear way to predict what issues can occur during the healing process.
