Showering can be done after 1 week. During the first 3-4 months, the surgical scar becomes red, itchy and clearly visible. Over time, especially after 6 months, the color fades, the trace decreases.

What are the risks of the operation?

As with any surgery, tummy tuck can be associated with a variety of risks.

• Bleeding – Although less common, it can occur during or after surgery. Later, blood transfusions and repeated revisions may be needed.
• Infection – very rare. It usually resolves with antibiotic treatment. In rare cases, surgical treatment is required.
• Skin changes – sensory disturbances in the area of ​​surgery, the presence of swelling is natural. This condition is temporary and can last up to 6-12 years. Sutures for diastasis can be felt by hand in the presence of thin skin and subcutaneous tissue.
• Irregularities in the body – can sometimes be seen, can be seen with the hands or eyes. Treatment is carried out with various physiotherapeutic methods, drugs, and rarely corrective operations are required.
• Skin scars – red, itchy, clearly visible surgical scars are formed during the first 6 months. Gradually decreases. But depending on the nature of the organism, a rough scar, kelloid can occur. it may also require additional treatments.
• Asymmetry – asymmetries can occur after surgery due to skin tension, fatty deposits, infiltrates, edema. Although they decrease over time, they are sometimes permanent and may need to be corrected again.
• Problems with surgical wounds – in some cases, the skin opens up along the wound and late healing occurs. They can also occur at a late stage (1-2 months and later), which usually depends on the reaction to the fibers, the weak regenerative properties of the organism. Rarely, extensive skin necrosis is found in the lower abdomen. Its formation depends on the diversification of blood vessels in the abdominal wall. The recovery period is sharply prolonged, and in most cases there is a need for repeated corrective-reconstructive operations.
• Embolism is a complication that can occur in all operations, it is impossible to predict, it is a risk of death.
• Seroma – in all cases, a small amount of fluid accumulates under the skin, which is absorbed freely. In some cases, it accumulates more due to delays in collection and absorption, which is eliminated by punctures.
• Umbilical cord – The newly opened umbilicus may have changes such as scarring, deformity, leakage, necrosis.
• Long-term results – this operation gives ideal results in patients with normal or slightly higher body mass index. Excess weight has a negative impact on aesthetic results. Even in patients with complete diastasis, the abdomen may remain bulging forward. Liposuction of the upper abdomen is not recommended, weight gain or loss after surgery, and possible somatic diseases may adversely affect the outcome.
