What are some of the risks of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)?
Potential risks of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) include blood clots, infection, bleeding or development of a fluid collection under the skin flap. Other risks include poor healing resulting in conspicuous scarring or skin loss. Poor healing and wider scars are more common in smokers. A second operation may be needed to correct complications or to improve the contour of the abdomen or the appearance of the scars.
