Risks to understandSee the main complications to discuss with your surgeon.
- Bleeding, infection, fluid collection, blood clots and anesthesia-related complications
- Contour irregularity, asymmetry, numbness, skin loss or poor scarring
- Fluid shifts and cardiopulmonary complications when large areas are treated
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
- History of blood clots, significant weight change, bariatric surgery, hernia or future pregnancy plans
Do not stop medication on your own. Any change must be directed by the prescribing expert, surgeon or anesthesiologist.
