[Complications of body lifts]

Abstract

Many complications can occur after body lift surgery if the surgeon does not follow the rules. These complications can be general or only local and aesthetic but anyway very difficult to fix. Therefore, the surgeon must know the very efficient ways to avoid them. We will describe more precisely acute anemia, fat necrosis followed with infection and wound dehiscence, violin deformation and finally intergluteal groove lengthening.
