What are the risks or complications that can occur with a tummy tuck?
As with all types of surgery there are potential risks associated with the tummy tuck procedure and these may include blood clots, infection and loose areas of skin. Poor healing following a tummy tuck may require a second operation. Patients planning future weight loss or pregnancy should discuss these issues prior to the tummy tuck procedure in order to avoid further complications. Risks can be minimized by selecting a qualified and competent plastic surgeon for your tummy tuck surgery.
