- Fluid accumulation beneath the skin (seroma):- Drainage tubes can help reduce the risk of fluid overload after surgery. Your doctor may use a needle and syringe to remove the fluid after surgery.

- Poor wound healing:- Sometimes the areas along the incision line heal poorly or begin to separate.  You may be given antibiotics during and after surgery to prevent infection.

- Unexpected scarring:- A tummy tuck scar is permanent, but it's usually easily hidden in a bikini line.  The length and appearance of the scar varies from person to person.

- Tissue damage:- Tummy tucks can damage or even kill fat tissue deep in your skin in the abdominal area. Smoking increases the risk of tissue damage. Depending on the size of the area, the tissue may heal on its own or a surgical touch-up procedure may be required.

- Changes in skin sensation:- During a tummy tuck, the displacement of your abdominal tissues can affect nerves in the abdominal area and occasionally in the upper thighs. You may have reduced sensation or numbness. It usually subsides in the months after the procedure.
