Not a single surgery can be guaranteed for 100% safety result. Like any other medical surgery, cosmetic surgery also carries some amount of risk and side effects.

She should also visit the doctor after the surgery and take medications if any prescribed by the doctor. Post operative care is essential for preventing wound and infection.
Whether it is cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery, it is still a surgery which carries some amount of risk. Some individuals have gone to the extent of losing their limbs and hands in the process of plastic surgery but that are rare cases.
Risk associated with cosmetic surgery

• Redness, swelling or rashes associated with severe pain in the part where surgery is done
• Infection (prolonged) inside the body part caused by contamination during surgical process
• Anemic condition after doing liposuction

• Any other complication arising during the process of surgery
