  1. Infection - Signs of infection are localized heat, redness, fever, and pain. Dr. Van Laeken can prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Occasionally the area will need to be drained.
  2. Asymmetry - Symmetry is not always achieved.
  3. Hypersensitivity / Numbness - The sensation can be altered temporarily or permanently.
  4. Seroma - Serum can accumulate underneath the skin. On occasion it is necessary to have the fluid drained.
  5. Keloid Scarring - Keloid scars are thick, wide, or raised scars.
