All procedures carry some risk, but these are the ones most-likely to result in complications…according to new research by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. (Ranked in order of seriousness of complications, not frequency of complications.)
1. Eye color change surgery (cosmetic iris implants, laser pigment removal, keratopigmentation): 92.3% complication rate (So, what they’re saying is that they still haven’t quite perfected this one?)
2. Thigh lift: 78% complication rate
3. Brazilian butt lift: 38% complication rate
4. Body lift: 42% complication rate
5. Injectable fillers: 65% complication rate (This explains so much about some of the people I see on the subway every day!)
6. Breast reduction: 38% complication rate (Is “smaller breasts” one of the complications?)
7. Butt implants: 22% complication rate
8. Breast augmentation: 14% complication rate
9. Arm lift (brachioplasty): 21% complication rate
10. Breast lift (mastopexy): 10% complication rate
