Every surgery has some level of risk and uncertainty.
Each year, thousands of abdominoplasties and small tummy tucks are successfully performed.
When a qualified plastic surgeon with experience in body contouring does a belly tuck, the outcomes are usually fairly good.
Nonetheless, there are always dangers and unique difficulties linked with surgery.
Infections and blood clots are uncommon after surgery, but they can happen.
The infection can be treated with medication and drainage, but it will lengthen your stay in the hospital.
Moving around as soon as possible after surgery can help to reduce the danger of blood clots.
Poor healing, which leaves visible scars, may demand a second procedure.
Smokers should be encouraged to quit because it increases the risk of problems and slows healing.
You can lower your risk of complications by carefully following your surgeon's recommendations before and after surgery, especially when it comes to when and how you should begin physical activity.
