Does any procedure with a free touch-up mean that it has a high risk of post-operative complication or a high failure rate? Should surgeons offer or not?

Answer: Mommy Makeover Touchup?
Thank you for the question.
You will find that there is no universal “policy” regarding revisionary surgery. It will be best for you to discuss this question with the plastic surgeons you see in consultation, given that every office policy is different.
Your assumption regarding “free touch up” being correlated with high risk of postoperative complications is not necessarily accurate. Again, you will find that there are risks of complications with every procedure and a significant difference in how different offices handle the financial aspects of revisionary surgery.
Best wishes.

Answer: Touch-up policy after mommy make-over
Offering a 'free touch-up' after mommy make-over is a vague offer that requires you obtain additional information prior to embarking on surgery. It is common for plastic surgeons to do minor revisional procedures, commonly called a touch-up, after cosmetic surgery. This may involve a minor scar revision, a touch-up to any liposuction that was performed etc. Most often, these procedures are done under local anesthesia in the surgeon's office. It is common to have a small facility fee to cover the costs of any supplies required.
