What are the risks of having a mommy makeover surgery?

   The best you can do as a patient is to find a board certified plastic surgeon who has demonstrated excellence in training and in the quality of the work performed.  I always limit multiple procedures to around 5 hours or fewer in the OR.  The risk of not waking up is about 1 in 100,000 in a healthy patient.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

There are potential risks and complications associated with any surgery.  The most common are infection, bleeding, scaring, abnormal scar, hypertrophic scar, abdominal asymmetry, breast asymmetry... and more. That being said, the potential for serious complications can be lessened by having your surgeon be properly board certified (plastic surgeon), the procedure performed in a safe and fully accredited facility, and anesthesia  administered by a Board-certified anesthesiologist.  Take your time as you do your research and choose a surgeon that you feel has the experience  achieving the types of outcome you would be pleased with along with  the safety record you are looking for.  Best wishes.
