Complications that may arise after Abdominoplasty.
Although very serious complication are not a common thing ,"normal" risks associated with any surgery may be there.there are risks with any surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure such as Bleeding,Infection,Puckered skin,Seroma,Skin necrosis or skin death etc. Visible scar or swelling may sustain for some time. If is stays for more than 4 weeks , it is considered wise to keep your surgeon updated on this.

Complications such as infection and blood clots are rare, but can occur. Infection can be treated with drainage and antibiotics, but will prolong your recovery. You can minimize the risk of blood clots by moving around as soon after the surgery as possible (immobility allows blood to pool and create a clot which can travel to the lungs, heart or brain causing a pulmonary embolism, heart attack or stroke).

One of the more common problems after an abdominoplasty is collection of fluid under the skin after the drains have been removed. Your surgeon can aspirate the fluid with a needle. The drainage stops within a month and will not affect the final results.

To reduce your risk of complications, carefully follow your plastic surgeon's instructions. Be sure to obtain a copy of your doctor's protocol before surgery
