When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, tummy tuck is usually a safe procedure. However, like any surgery there are risks.
Tummy tuck risks include the following:
Hematoma
Poor scarring
Infection
Accumulation of fluid
Numbness or tenderness in the treated area
Nerve damage
Pain or discomfort
Dr. Khalil is happy to discuss the measures he takes to mitigate these risks during a one-on-one tummy tuck consultation.
