during the surgery depends on diverse
factors, like age, general state of health,
presence of chronic - degenerative illnesses as diabetes, hypertension,
cardiac
illnesses, anemia, etc; duration of the surgery, and factors as ingestion of medicines

if we detect some anomaly that
increases these risks one will inform you, as well as the possibility of not doing
the
surgery if these risks are very high.
The most frequent complications are: Haematoma, Seroma, Infection, necrosis of
skin, reaction to sutures, bad
cicatrizacion, fatness and aberrations, etc. your
surgeon will explain you and will clarify any doubt with regard to
these possible
complications.
The anaesthetic complications are slightly possible in healthy persons, the incidence
of complications is minor

general anesthesia and they are in direct relation with the time
of anesthesia,
for what the risks increase lightly if the time of surgery increases on having
done several surgeries in
the same procedure, these complications can be from
reaction anafiláctica, chock up to hipoxia cerebral and death,
