Risks and side effects
Surgical skin lifts may cause scars, asymmetry, changes in sensation or movement due to nerve injury, rarely skin necrosis, and relapse.
Tightening treatments such as thread lifts and Morpheus8 may cause redness, swelling, a sensation of heat, bruising, pigmentation, skin dimpling or pulling, and individual variation in results.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
