All operations carry the risk of infection, hematoma, and wound healing issues. Most of these are minor with mommy makeover procedures. In longer operations such as abdominoplasty pulmonary embolism is a rare but dreaded complication. Fluid collections such as seromas are hematomas are also unwanted postoperative sequelae.

Our goal is to minimize your risks, but certain risks such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are associated with longer procedures. Having an excellent anesthesia team and an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon will ensure you get the optimum care during and after your procedure. A good anesthesia/surgeon team will make sure you stay warm during surgery, and use calf or foot compression sleeves to decrease your risk of DVT.
