Chances of dying during a tummy tuck: I would absolutely love to get an alternative. (Photos)

Any surgery, including tummy tuck or abdominoplasty carries risks, including that of death. Fortunately, this is rare. In fact, patients have higher chance of death with driving than with undergoing a tummy tuck as long as their health status has been optimized. 

I have heard this concern from patients before.  On a statistical basis your risk of death from a tummy tuck is extremely small.  The most I,portent thing with tummy tucks is to avoid clots in the legs during surgery with compression stocking which is standard and start moving around after surgery to keep the circulation in your legs going.

Hello,The risk of death from a tummy tuck is about 1/15000, compared to 1/650 for a car. That statistic is all comers, including many who shouldn't have gotten a tummy tuck.  For young healthy, non-obese individuals, it is much much lower. You'd be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring. Best of luck!
