What risks are associated with buttock and thigh lifts?
Although major complications are rare, some patients experience excessive swelling after having a buttock and thigh lift. Such swelling does resolve itself with time, however. Rarely, patients may notice asymmetries between the two sides of the body. Otherwise, most of the risks associated with buttock and thigh lifts are the same as those that apply to any major surgery, such as infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots and nerve damage. Dr. Placik exercises great care in ensuring that complications are rare and prevented whenever possible. When you visit Dr. Otto J. Placik, you will receive the best possible care and attention. If you would like to schedule a private consultation, please send our plastic surgery office an email or call us at (847) 398-1660.
