How Often Do People Die During Tummy Tuck Procedures?

August 6, 2011
Asked By:Considering a Tummy Tuck in Sumter

My two biggest concerns about this whole procedure is 1 how often do people die from this procedure 2) how do I make the best of this operation? Meaning I do not want to get a tummy tuck and at the end of all the healing and swelling it still seems like I did not have a tummy tuck. I guess what I want to know as well is how many inches around my waist/midsection will I lose? This tummy tuck would also benefit me because I am in the Army and I get my measurements taken every 6 months in my wasit.
