Cosmetic procedures—both surgical and non-surgical—carry various risks, ranging from mild to serious. Here’s a breakdown of potential risks by category:

General Risks (All Procedures)

• Infection: Any procedure that breaks the skin can lead to infection if proper hygiene isn't maintained.

• Allergic reactions: Reactions to any product used

• Scarring: Unexpected or keloid scarring can occur.

• Unsatisfactory results: Results may not match expectations, leading to psychological distress or the need for revision procedures.

• Nerve damage: Can lead to numbness, tingling, or even muscle paralysis (temporary or permanent).

• Bleeding or hematoma: Accumulation of blood under the skin.

• Temporary drooping: Some products sometimes cause eyelid or brow droop if injected improperly.
