Résumé
Please verify edit, "complications could". All operations have sequelae. These are to be expected and must be told to patients. With surgery, the risk of complications is ever-present albeit infrequent. Facelift surgeons have ethical and intellectual duties to fully inform patients of these risks. Surgeons also must have strategies to reduce the risks, knowledge in how to manage each potential risk, and ability to help patients understand how complications could have occurred and how to cope with them. This article discusses facelift complications, the causes thereof, and how to assess a problem, manage each complication, and comfort a distraught patient.
