Complication Worries
Aesthetic complications refer to unexpected outcomes that affect the appearance of a person.
At SkinBio aesthetics we ensure patients are empowered to understand complications which can be linked to aesthetic treatment. Clear communication is essential to allow our patients to understand what can commonly occur after a procedure and what symptoms need our medical assistance. Dr Sandhu and Dr Soni provide contact details to allow patients to have the reassurance they can be contacted if there are any unexpected symptoms or concerns regarding potential complications.
Types of Aesthetic Complications
Aesthetic complications can manifest differently depending on the procedure or treatment. Some common types include:
Bruising and swelling: Common after procedures like injections or surgeries.
Infection: Can occur if proper hygiene measures are not followed.
Hematoma: A collection of blood under the skin, often resulting from trauma during surgery.
Seroma: A build-up of fluid that can occur after surgery.
Scarring: Abnormal or excessive scarring may develop, particularly with surgical procedures.
Asymmetry: Uneven results, where one side appears different from the other.
Dissatisfaction with results: The treatment not achieving the desired outcome, leading to dissatisfaction.
There are several risk factors which can increase the change of complications. These are checked during pre-procedure checks prior to your appointment and also discussed during prior the procedure. There include:
Smoking: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
Certain medical conditions
Medications: Some medications can affect healing and increase the risk of complications.
Poor pre- or post-operative care: Not following pre- or post-operative instructions can increase the risk of complications.
