All surgical procedures has a certain risk and there is never a guarantee. There are very few problems after surgery. If it is a medical problem then the doctor tries to correct it usually without any extra charge. If there are problems depending on other medical conditions in the patient, then the patient has to pay. This is why you usually need a check-up with X-ray and heart test before operation. Other problems, usually that the patients expectation are not fulfilled are treated case by case. One example can be after a breast implants the breast are to small or to big according to the patients expectations. This can also be corrected but the patient usually has to pay for a new silicon implant if the doctor agrees to operate again.
