This complication can be avoided by refraining from taking specific non-prescription supplements, anti-inflammatory medication and aspirin for two weeks prior to surgery.
Fluid Accumulation/Seroma: Butt lifts require either fat grafting or implant placement, which can lead to an accumulation of fluid underneath the skin known as a seroma.

Brow lift (forehead lift) is a cosmetic procedure designed to decrease the excess skin or ‘hooding’ in the upper eyelids, elevate the eyebrows, and decrease the deep creases of the forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows.
