Cosmetic surgery can be life-changing — improving confidence, self-esteem, and quality of life. But like any medical procedure, cosmetic surgery carries risks. At Cosmetic Surgery Cyprus & Turkey, we believe in transparency and patient education.
Whether you choose to have your cosmetic surgery procedure with us in Cyprus or Turkey, here are the 5 most important cosmetic surgery risks and how we keep you safe every step of the way.
1. Infection Risk 🦠
The Risk:
Infections can occur after any surgery, causing pain, delayed healing, or in rare cases, further treatment.
How We Minimise It:
✅ Surgeries are carried out in internationally accredited hospitals in Cyprus & Turkey.
✅ Strict infection-control protocols and advanced sterile techniques are followed.
✅ Prophylactic antibiotics are provided when needed.
✅ You receive clear wound-care guidance and support for optimal healing.
2. Blood Clots & Anaesthetic Risks 🩺
The Risk:
Blood clots (DVT) and anaesthetic complications are rare but possible, particularly during longer procedures.
How We Minimise It:
✅ Detailed pre-operative health assessments to check for risk factors.
✅ Experienced anaesthetists use the latest, safest medications.
✅ Compression stockings and early mobilisation are encouraged to boost circulation.
✅ Hydration is closely monitored during your stay.
3. Poor Scarring or Slow Healing 🩹
The Risk:
Scarring is a natural part of surgery, but some patients may develop thicker or slower-healing scars.
How We Minimise It:
✅ Our surgeons use precise, minimally invasive techniques to create neat, well-placed incisions.
✅ Post-surgery, you are provided with advice regarding scar-care products.
✅ Follow-up appointments (in person and online) ensure your healing is monitored.
4. Unsatisfactory Aesthetic Results 🎭
The Risk:
Results may sometimes differ from expectations due to individual healing responses.
How We Minimise It:
✅ We spend time during consultation discussing your goals and showing realistic before-and-after examples.
✅ Highly experienced surgeons perform your surgery, specialising in procedures like breast augmentation, tummy tucks, liposuction, and facelifts.
✅ If needed, we offer revision options to refine results — always prioritising your safety.
5. Emotional Impact & Recovery Time 🧠
The Risk:
Surgery affects both body and mind. Some patients feel emotional, anxious, or impatient while waiting for swelling to subside.
How We Minimise It:
✅ We explain recovery timelines clearly before your surgery.
✅ Our team remains available for support during your stay and after you return home.
✅ Follow-up calls and online check-ins help keep you reassured and on track.
