Hi,
As you stated, though it can be a safe procedure, complications can occur, as in any surgical procedure.
Infection can occur as one complication if the process is not completely sterile. Other complications include bleeding and pain. Bleeding can be especially problematic if there is an inherent risk of bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James,
