As far as anesthesia is concerned, during the consultation, the anesthesiologist will himself inform the patient of the anesthetic risks. The fact of having recourse to a perfectly competent anesthesiologist, practicing in a truly surgical context, means that the risks incurred have become statistically very low.
It is important to know that techniques, anesthetic products and monitoring methods have made immense progress over the last thirty years, offering optimal safety, especially when the operation is performed outside of an emergency and on a person in good health.
As far as the surgical procedure is concerned, by choosing a qualified and competent Plastic Surgeon, trained in this type of procedure, you limit these risks as much as possible, without however eliminating them completely.
Indeed, complications can occur during a lift of the inner thighs, which is one of the most delicate procedures in plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Among these possible complications, we must mention :
– Thrombo-embolic accidents: preventive measures: wearing anti-thrombosis stockings, early lifting, possibly anti-coagulant treatment.
– The occurrence of a hematoma, which is in fact quite rare, may justify an evacuation in order to avoid the risk of altering the aesthetic quality of the result.
– The occurrence of an infection is prevented by rigorous pre- and post-operative hygiene until complete healing.
– An effusion linked to a flow of lymph and oozing fat. Compression and rest are the best ways to prevent this.
– A delay in healing is possible
– Skin necrosis: this is much more frequent in smokers, especially if the cessation of smoking has not been strictly respected.
– Alterations in sensitivity: normal sensitivity usually reappears within 6 to 12 months after the operation.
