About 3% of law suits filed concerning cosmetic surgery are for abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. This is less common than many other cosmetic surgery operations. The most common factors are:
When liposuction is combined with abdominoplasty it greatly increases the risk and doubles the number of suits. Skin slough (death of skin) is much more common if liposuction and abdominoplasty are combined.
Diabetes and smoking are two major factors that can lead to severe problems after abdominoplasty.
