How common are complications during abdominoplasty?

strattot
I have had a couple of unusually traumatic c-sections so I get a little bit of surgery anxiety. I know it's a common surgery. I mostly have heard about post-surgery complications rather than any complications possible during surgery. For someone young and healthy, would it be uncommon?
