Is Tummy Tuck Surgery Safe or Dangerous?

Tummy tuck, also known as tummy tuck surgery, involves an important surgical procedure that targets the abdominal area. During the abdominoplasty procedure, excess fat tissues and sagging skin around the abdomen are removed. The muscles are tightened and made to look young and taut.

As with any surgical procedure, tummy tuck surgery can carry some risks. Although there are rare complications, patients should be informed. So, what are the risks of tummy tuck surgery?

What are the Risks of Tummy Tuck Surgery?

1- Postoperative Infection

It is one of the most common complications after abdominoplasty. The aseptic technique used at the time of surgery prevents infection at the time of application. However, problems such as smoking, high body mass index, diabetes after surgery increase the risk of infection.

2- Postoperative Skin Necrosis

The skin covering the abdomen begins to die due to insufficient blood circulation. Desirable images occur in areas with dying tissues. In order to prevent skin necrosis after surgery, smoking should be quit; it should not be consumed before and after.

3- Postoperative Stitch Scar

There are many people who have had tummy tuck surgery and try to get rid of their scars easily. This problem, which is more important especially for women, can be easily solved. The gels and creams prescribed by the doctor should be applied regularly. In addition, the operation area should be protected from sunlight.

4- Postoperative numbness

Having tummy tuck surgery and liposuction combined with liposuction can cause problems such as loss of sensation. Temporary loss of sensation in the abdomen lasting 6 months-1 year is considered normal.
