Long list: As with any surgical procedure, there is a long list of potential complications that can arise. Make sure you discuss the common ones and the more severe ones with your surgeon. More common ones include seroma (fluid under the skin), wound healing issues, and contour irregularities. More serious ones include blood clots and infections.
