The following complications and risks have been explained to me and I acknowledge that they may occur as a consequence of surgery: infection, bleeding, hematoma, scarring, poor wound healing, pain, asymmetry, sensory changes or numbness, nerve injury, poor aesthetic result, need for revision surgery, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary complications, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and death. Although uncommon, I understand rare and unpredictable complications can occur.

No guarantee has been made by the surgeon or clinical staff regarding the results and I accept that additional procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. I understand that smoking, certain medications, supplements, and medical conditions can increase risks and affect healing.
