Procedure Complications

Surgical complications do happen, and they happen to every surgeon in every specialty. Be aware of any potential complication and the potential cost involved in treating a complication before consenting to any surgical procedure. If you can’t afford a complication, then you can’t afford cosmetic surgery.

Fortunately, complications are rare. My complication rate is low and well in keeping with my top peers. I attribute this to meticulous attention to detail, performing only tried and tested techniques, and attending regular congresses both nationally and internationally.

I operate in attested operating theatres with an Intensive Care Unit close at hand. I enjoy close ties with top-class specialists from a wide medical spectrum should the need for referral arise.

I have listed some of the potential complications that can occur with any surgery, it is by no means complete. After consultation and examination, procedure-specific complications will be discussed with my patients in detail.

Patient Related Complications2024-12-02T17:27:27+02:00

Certain people have a higher risk of patient related complications, notably infection and perfusion (blood supply) problems. For example:

  • Diabetics
  • Patients on steroids and other immunosuppressant medication
  • Patients who are immunocompromised
  • Smokers
  • Patients with Heart Disease and Vasculopathies
  • Hypertension
  • A history of previous surgery in the area
  • Obese Patients

  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Seroma
  • Perfusion (blood supply) problems
Other Complications2024-12-02T17:27:12+02:00

There are other complications that can occur. Be sure to discuss any concerns you may have with me during the consultation, especially if you have a history of complications.

  • Anaesthetic related complications – feel free to discuss these with any of the anaesthesiologists that I use in my practice.
  • Local anaesthetic complications
  • Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolus
  • Fat embolism
  • Nerve injury
  • Atelectasis and pneumonia
  • Patients with a tendency toward Keloid scars

A year ago you patched up Nina and the result is really very good! We as a practice were very appreciative of your service to our patients. We like it that you write reports – 5 stars for that and our patients are always happy. That says a lot these days.
