Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Possible complications associated with Abdominoplasty
Outlined below are the most common and significant complications associated with the procedure.
-
Large scar. It is important to realize that all abdominoplasty procedures leave long scars. The total length of a scar depends on the amount of redundant fat and skin within the flank area. This is discussed further with a doctor prior to the operation.
-
Blood clot. Blood clot formation after abdominoplasty is more common than with other cosmetic surgery procedures. This can be minimized if the patient wears compressive stockings and walks around immediately after the operation.
-
Infection and wound healing problems.
-
Fluid or blood collection within the wound.
-
Asymmetry and/or contour irregularities.
