Risks to understandSee the main complications to discuss with your surgeon.
- Bleeding, infection, fluid collection and anesthesia-related complications
- Facial-nerve injury, altered sensation, hairline change or skin loss
- Asymmetry, visible scarring or need for revision
This is not a complete risk list. Risk changes with technique, anesthesia, treatment extent and your health.
What should I tell the expert?Medical conditions, medication and previous treatment can change your plan.
- Heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea or other lung conditions
- Diabetes, liver or kidney disease, immune disorders, bleeding or clotting problems
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, severe allergies or a history of difficult scarring
- Any previous reaction to anesthesia, surgery or an implanted medical product
- All prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, blood thinners, vitamins, herbal supplements, nicotine, alcohol and recreational drugs
- Previous facelift, threads, energy-device treatment, fillers or facial nerve weakness
Do not stop medication on your own. Any change must be directed by the prescribing expert, surgeon or anesthesiologist.
