Are there any risks associated with facial facelift surgery?

Facial skin lifting may lead to infection, as the wound area is relatively extensive. If hair is exposed in the surgical field, infection could occur, along with complications such as edema and hematoma. Additionally, there is a risk of extensive full-thickness skin necrosis or nerve damage. Other possible complications include sudden pigmentation, numbness, and tightness of the skin.
