Under normal circumstances, scar removal surgery does not cause complications. However, if the patient chooses an unaccredited hospital or if the doctor makes mistakes during the procedure—such as damaging blood vessels—this may lead to bleeding. Additionally, failure to maintain proper sterilization during the procedure may result in local infection or even trigger scar hypertrophy.
