Complications
- Side effects from prescription drugs may outweigh the benefits.
- Topical treatments are expensive, time-consuming, and directions for their use must be followed precisely to prevent injury.
- Surgical procedures are costly, and must be repeated to combat heredity and the aging process.
- Any surgical procedure presents risks of infection as a result of human errors made during surgical procedures. Patients who are anesthetized are at further risk, even under optimum conditions.
- Patients’ unrealistic expectations may result in multiple surgeries.
