Is Liposuction and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Safe?
Liposuction and Abdominoplasty are generally considered Safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited medical facility. However, like any surgical procedure, they carry some risks, such as infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically improve during the recovery period. The safety of these procedures is enhanced through proper client screening, adherence to surgical protocols, and post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon.
While the majority of clients recover without complications, certain factors can increase surgical risks, including smoking, unmanaged medical conditions, or obesity. To ensure safety, clients should disclose their full medical history and follow all pre-surgical instructions, such as discontinuing medications that may affect healing.
Attending all follow-up Appointments is essential for monitoring healing progress and identifying potential concerns early. Choosing an experienced, qualified surgeon significantly reduces the risk of complications and improves overall surgical outcomes.
