Skin infections are bad, and can really fuck you up, but an infection in the bone can very quickly kill you and is really hard to treat.
If you've had surgery before then not only is the new plastic having to bond to or replace previous plastic, it's also going through the same scar tissue which never heals correctly. Scar tissue also doesn't stretch, which means that it doesn't tighten back into place. Saw a video the other day of a guy who got badly burned as a kid and because the scar tissue on his skin couldn't stretch as he grew it caused his bones to deform.
Honestly plastic surgery is just a fucking disaster and should be reserved for reconstruction only, and even then sparingly.
