Facelift surgery for wrinkle removal may have side effects. If the procedure involves only skin tightening, side effects are generally fewer, but complications such as scarring, wound infection, or skin necrosis may still occur. However, if the facelift is not limited to the skin alone, the facial nerves beneath the fascial structures may be damaged, potentially leading to partial paralysis.
