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.
