Brazilian Butt Lift Risks and Complications

Possible Brazilian Butt Lift
Risks and Complications

However, complications can still sometimes arise either during or after any type of surgery. Brazilian butt lift risks and complications include, but are not limited to:

Hematoma

Also called a blood clot, a hematoma occurs when blood collects near the surgical site. The pooling blood causes swelling, discomfort, and pain. Bruising is also a common sign of a hematoma, and can be blue, purple or black in color. Some small hematomas can be absorbed back into the body, but a severe hematoma may require medical attention.

Seroma

Somewhat like a hematoma, a seroma is a buildup of fluid that can occur after surgery. It usually appears as a small bump in the surgical area. A seroma occurs when damaged blood and lymphatic vessels expel plasma, the clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood. As with hematomas, small seromas can be absorbed back into the body as your body heals itself. However, larger seromas can sometimes become infected, and require medical attention.

Incision Opening

Excessive movement or pressure put on the surgical site may cause incisions to reopen. This is part of why post-surgical care is so important.
