[Cosmetic surgery. Is it dangerous?].
Postoperative complications from 7,552 cosmetic surgical procedures were studied retrospectively. 22 general and 60 local complications occurred. Five of the most serious were three complications from anaesthesia, one peripheral nerve damage and one prolonged psychiatric situation. Two patients required hospitalization. Correction of protruding ears gave the relatively largest incidence of local complications, and Suction lipectomy the largest incidence of general complications. The most common complications were hematoma, skin slough and problems related to anaesthesia. The most common cosmetic surgical procedures such as mammaplasty, face lift, blefaroplasty, liposuction, rhinoplasty and hair transplantation, were rarely associated with complications.
