The risk of having an infection doesn’t end a few weeks after surgery. There are reported cases that after ten years, they develop resistance to the foreign body injected or implanted in your body. I personally know someone who has encountered this kind of problem. She had a nose lift and ten years after, she developed an infection. But if you still insist, just follow the doctor’s order strictly. Usually, doctors will prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection. But there are cases that you cannot prevent migration of the skin’s normal flora into the surgically incised wound. This migration is the major cause of an infection. During the consultation, ask your doctor if he can use Integuseal. It is a product that immobilizes the bacteria, therefore preventing it from migrating into the wound thus preventing the risk of infection.

And if left untreated for prolonged periods of time, it could lead to more complications, and could even cause death. And even when successfully treated, the after-effects such as the scars are most likely to last a lifetime and would make you look worse than you were before the surgery. So think twice before attempting any type of cosmetic surgery.
