Hello. This is a very broad question. I personally do not think there are any, except if one becomes obsessed with it. The saying Less Is More is very appropriate for cosmetic surgery. No one should over for it and look fake!
You need a board certified plastic surgeon to start with. And have experience with what you are asking for. You will have scars, recovery time, and you need to minimize the down time by having an experienced surgeon.
Thank you for the question. I don’t seem to understand quite well what you mean by “negative effects.” First of all, plastic surgery is a specialty grossly divided into reconstructive, and esthetic surgery. The first division, reconstructive, takes care of deformities, and injuries that alter the function of appearance of a person’s body part, without getting into the realm of the second division, esthetics, which enhances some characteristics of the person’s body. I particularly do not see any negative effects on any of them.
I hope this was of some help.
