Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Cosmetic surgery is a growing trend among people looking to enhance their physical features, but it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and side effects. Every type of cosmetic procedure carries its own unique set of possible risks that you should carefully consider before deciding if it's right for you.

Common side effects associated with plastic surgery include infection, scarring, pain during the procedure, swelling and discomfort after surgery, asymmetrical results (where one part looks different from another), nerve damage, changes in skin sensation, allergic reactions to medications or anesthetics used during the operation, blood clots in deep veins (DVT), adverse reactions to anesthesia and/or sedatives used during operation such as chest pains or respiratory failure which may lead to death. In addition there are long-term consequences such as skin discoloration due difficulty healing properly; loss of feeling on operated areas; unpredictable results leading to requirement for amendments; changes in self identity and confidence issues caused by dissatisfaction with outcome etc.

There are many considerations when thinking about having a cosmetic procedure done so it is important that you discuss them all thoroughly with your doctor before making any decisions.
