Risks in Plastic, Reconstructive SurgeryEvery surgical procedure, especially plastic or reconstructive surgery, can carry certain risks. It is the surgeon's responsibility to make sure that the patient is aware of all the risks prior to performing the surgery. Some common risks are bleeding, infection, scarring, contractures, blood clots, pneumonia, medications reactions, and scar tissue formation. Regardless of how minor or major the risks are, it is the surgeon's responsibility to inform the patient so an informed decision can be made prior to consenting to any surgical procedure.
