Complications Later in Life After a Tummy Tuck?

Asked By:MommyoftwoDR in Ca

I have read allot of horror stories online about women having acid reflux, gerd, shortness of breath, Ibs, and constant swelling after tummy tuck. Also many complain of upper abdominal bludge years later! Some say it's from abdominal compartment syndrome after tummy tuck but I also read it's because the surgeon removes subcutaneous fat and tightens the muscles leaving fat unable to return to subcutaneous regions and converts to visceral fat that puts pressure on vital organs! Is this common?
