General

Scarring

There are a number of techniques which require very little in the way of scarring. Liposuction involves almost no scarring, whilst with LVA surgery the scars are less than 3-4cm long.

Risks

I perform all of my operations at leading London hospitals with full emergency care available. As with any surgical procedure, it's essential to discuss risks Mr Fitzgerald O’Connor so you are fully informed of what you are undertaking.

While most patients experience no significant complications, potential risks include:

Infection
Bleeding or Heamatoma
Scarring
Lymphatic Leak
Edema Worsening
Nerve injury
