Although complications and bad results are uncommon from this type
of operation, they do sometimes occur. Some of the possible complications
from this operation include: infection, bleeding, unequal discoloration
and swelling of the forehead, abnormal contour, nerve damage causing
temporary or permanent loss of feeling in the forehead and weakness
of portions or all of the brow muscles, permanent decrease in sensation
following the operation which may occur even when the operation
has been a success. Another complication includes untoward reactions
to anesthetic administration.
Complications are seen much more frequently in smokers and you
are urged not to smoke the month prior to surgery and for four weeks
after the operation to minimize the likelihood of such complications.
Complications after any type of cosmetic surgery are relatively
rare and most patients end up with a very satisfactory result. The
purpose of this information is not to frighten you, but to ensure
that your decision to have this operation is not made out of ignorance
of the potential risks of facial cosmetic operations.
