 1. Hematoma

Actually, the hematoma is the formation of blood clots in the subcutaneous space against
the background of haemorrhages. It happens both during the operation and after it.
Its timely diagnosis is very important as it can quickly develop into tissue necrosis. So,
the patient is kept under the supervision of a nursing or surgeon in the first 4-6 hours
after the operation.
In case, a hematoma appears, the patient is either taken to the operating room (where the
sutures are opened for subsequent removal of blood clots and to stop the bleeding) or
special drugs are prescribed immediately with cauterization of bleeding sutures.

 2. Infection
Generally, the Symptoms of infection appear 2-6 days after the plastic surgery, which
is accompanied by an increase in the temperature of the whole body or only of the
operated area, pain, itching, etc.
These days, surgeons prefer intravenous administration of antibiotics to reduce the
risk of infection in patients. It is true in the case of breast augmentation surgery and
buttocks, facelift, abdomen tightening, etc. Now, Infections are easily treated with
antibiotics as such as complication is considered not dangerous (if diagnosed at the
right time) and does not affect the final result of the plastic surgery.

 3. Scar Sealing

In several cases, after plastic surgery, a thin, pale and noticeable scar appears on the
human body. To treat this, Cosmetic stitches are placed in an area imperceptible to the
eyes. Such scars become completely invisible after a few months of the plastic
surgery. It is always difficult to predict the “behaviour” of the scar.

 4. Implant Displacement

Mainly, this complication in plastic surgery appears because of the fault of the
patients themselves when they stop wearing compression underwear ahead of time or
violate other postoperative recommendations of the surgeon. However, it is possible
to return the implants to the right place without going for a repeated surgical
intervention.

 5. Deformation of Contours

It is actually a complication in plastic surgery of the face, mainly caused by

inaccuracies on the part of the surgeon. Always keep in mind that the displacement
of the contours occurs against the background of the displacement of tissue flaps in
the operated area or because of the formation of small hematomas there. A
secondary operation is required to correct this complication.

 6. Blood Loss

In every plastic surgery operation, some blood loss is natural. Nevertheless,

uncontrolled blood loss can lead to a decrease in blood pressure with potentially fatal
outcomes, such as the lack of blood in the patient, his/her death, etc. So, the speed of
decision making (on the part of doctors) and assistance plays a major role in saving the
life of patients. Timely diagnosis and properly rendered medical care can cure this
problem.

 7. Seroma

Seroma is a condition which takes place when the serum from your blood pool is
under the surface of the skin, leading to swelling and pain. It appears like a big blister.
The problem can surface after any surgery and is the most common complication of a
tummy tuck. As seromas can become infected, doctors drain them with a needle.
There are chances of their recurrence. So, be careful.
