Even though some of the major surgical procedures performed this day are safer then the less complicated surgeries performed a few years ago,, there are still risks involved in having surgery including abdominoplasty. Let’s focus on the dangers of abdominoplasty.
Ultimately the decision to have abdominoplasty is solely yours, the choice is yours whether the outcome holds a greater benefit than the possibility of the risks.
While your physician will insure that you are fully aware of all possible risks and complications, here’s an overview of the dangers commonly associated with abdominoplasty.
Some of the Health Risks
One of the major risks associated with any surgery is hematoma, or excess bleeding. You can reduce this risk by avoiding vaso-dilators and anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin for several days prior to the surgery. The medical facility is responsible for sterilizing the operating room and equipment; at times certain bacteria might still enter the wound causing an infection which is another risk. This can be treated with antibiotics, but such treatment is difficult when it comes to surgical incisions.
There might also be complications due to anesthesia; on rare occasions, a patient reacts badly, which is why it is vital for your doctor to know any and everything about your medical history and any possible allergies you might have to anything.
A few other surgical risks are; nerve damage which could cause a loss of sensation or numbness, necrosis of the tissue and deep vein thrombosis which happens when a clot forms and cuts off circulation.
Aesthetic Outcomes
Post-surgery outcomes vary between patients, some patients have an undesired visual outcome and others have a desired one. Your plastic surgeon might be the leading plastic surgeon of your area; however your surgeon can’t predict your aesthetic outcome. The possibility of having loose skin may persist; swelling and skin discoloration are also common. Surgeons always attempt to make incisions where they’re not very visible, however, scarring is not easily avoided. Selecting a certified surgeon is important. The listed risks are very unusual and only become a true possibility if the surgeon is not a plastic or cosmetic surgeon. Choose a surgeon who is certified through the American Society of Plastic Surgeons such as Plastic Surgeon John Moore.
