Here are some of the potential risks and complications associated with armpit fat removal:
1. Infection:Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection at the incision sites. Your surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for the incisions to minimize the risk of infection.
2. Scarring:Scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure. The extent and visibility of scars can vary based on factors such as your body's healing process, the surgical technique used, and how well you care for your incisions during the healing period.
3. Hematoma and Bleeding:There is a risk of bleeding and hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin) after surgery. Your surgeon will take measures to minimize bleeding during the procedure and provide post-operative instructions to help prevent complications.
4. Delayed Healing:Some individuals may experience delayed wound healing or poor wound healing, which could lead to infections or increased scarring.
5. Anesthesia Risks: Anesthesia carries its own set of risks, including allergic reactions, adverse reactions, and complications related to your body's response to anesthesia.
6. Asymmetry or Uneven Results:Achieving perfect symmetry in surgical procedures can be challenging, and there is a risk of achieving slightly uneven results. Your surgeon will aim for the best symmetry possible based on your unique anatomy.
7. Nerve Damage:Surgery in the armpit area carries the risk of damaging nearby nerves. This can lead to numbness, tingling, or altered sensations in the arms or surrounding areas.
8. Skin Irregularities: Liposuction or surgical excision can sometimes lead to irregularities in the skin's texture or contour.
9. Seroma Formation: A seroma is a collection of fluid that can accumulate under the skin after surgery. Draining the seroma may be necessary to prevent complications.
10. Poor Cosmetic Outcome:Despite the surgeon's best efforts, the final cosmetic result may not meet your expectations. This could include issues with scarring, shape, or overall appearance.
11. Blood Clots:There's a potential risk of blood clot formation (deep vein thrombosis) after surgery, especially if you have risk factors like immobility or a history of clotting disorders.
12. Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to surgical materials, medications, or dressings used during the procedure.
13. Prolonged Swelling or Bruising:Swelling and bruising are common after surgery, but in some cases, they may persist longer than expected.
