Every surgery has some risks and possible complications.
Dr Carmen will cover the potential risks and complications during your consultation as part of your informed consent. She will also explain the measures she will take in order to reduce your risks as much as possible.
Possible complications of surgery include the following:
• Complications related to general anaesthetic or side effects of drugs used in hospital
• Bleeding – reduced by preoperative testing of possible blood anomalies, accurate technique, use of drains, particular dressings, compressive garments
• Infection – prevented/reduced by judicious use of antibiotics, good surgical technique, modern sealing dressings, appropriate care, advice
• Abnormal or asymmetrical scarring– Many scars can be improved if approached in the right time frame in the right way.
• Fluid build-up or seroma
• Other risks include – Numbness and Pain, Wound breakdown and delayed healing, unsightly or keloid Scarring,
• Serious complications such as possible Heart attack, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism
Specific possible complications of breast surgery can include the following:
• Changes to nipple sensation majority transient in nature,
• Potential breast asymmetries– “breasts are sisters not twins”
• Risk of BIA-ALCL– Generally associated only with textured implants
• Risk of BII– Breast implant illness
Inflammation, Infection, Pain, Seroma, Scar presence, Asymmetry, Necrosis
Things you can do to minimise your risks and complications of surgery
• Read all your surgical documents and follow instructions of your surgeon precisely – rest & Allow time to heal, wear your compression garments as instructed, avoid removing your own bandages or touching at the incision site until it has healed properly.
• Do NOT Smoke at all during the surgical journey – especially critical in the periods before and after surgery
• Be accurate and upfront about ALL your medications, supplements and vitamins that you are currently taking – Tell both Dr Carmen and your anaesthetist
• When providing your medical history give specific details about ANY past difficulties you have had with surgery, anaesthesia, hospital visits or healing
• Thorough pre-washing of your own body prior to surgery can reduce skin bacteria and risk of infection.
• Successful surgical outcomes are the result of a number of considerations – realistic surgical goals, realistic patient expectations, and a good knowledge and understanding of possible risks and complications.

• Infection- prevented/reduced by judicious use of antibiotics, good surgical technique, modern sealing dressings, appropriate care, advice
• Changes to nipple sensation majority transient in nature,
• Potential asymmetries- “breasts are sisters not twins” – Abnormal or asymmetrical scarring- as much as a number of measures are being taken to measure and approximate the tissues, sometimes they behave other than expected, and can result in unwanted results. A good number of them can be improved if approached in the right time frame in the right way.
General possible complications include the following:
Anaesthetic, Pain, Bleeding, Infection, Wound breakdown, Scar, Heart attack, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism
Specific possible complications include the following:

Fleur de Lis is a very complex surgical procedure that can only be performed by the best body lift experts and top plastic surgeons in Australia.
Although it is a more complex procedure than traditional abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), the percentage of cases with developed complications is very similar and low.
To reduce the possible risks and complications of vertical abdominoplasty, it is very important to choose the best Fleur De Lis surgeon who has enough experience and knowledge to perform this procedure.
Some complications of FDL surgery include:
• Unsightly scars
• Bleeding or Hematoma (internal bleeding)
• Abdomen Asymmetry
• Loss of Umbilicus
• Dissatisfaction with the results
• Infection
• Seroma (internal Fluid build up)
• Bad reaction to anesthesia
