Side effects are temporaryYou must remember that side-effects are temporary. Complications such bleeding during or soon after the procedure, infection and a reaction to the anaesthetic may occur. Although in rare cases, bleeding under your skin may occur that causes a painful a haematoma. Antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent infection and your surgeon will remove the blood clot formed. Damage to your facial nerves resulting in numbness and muscle weakness in your face are very uncommon and not necessarily permanent. Do not be alarmed if temporary hair loss around the incision occurs. |
