What are the risks of a mommy makeover?

Analyse the possible complications

By having an open dialogue with your surgeon, you get the information you need about side effects and other risks of a mommy makeover.

All surgery carries risks, and a mommy makeover, which often combines several procedures, is no exception. This can involve both surgical risks, such as being put under general anaesthetic, and post-operative factors that affect how your body heals and reacts after the procedures.

Some risks of a mommy makeover

During and after the procedures, these complications and side effects can occur, for example:

• Bleeding: As with all surgery there is a risk of bleeding, which can lead to complications if it is not managed correctly.
• Infection: The risk of infection is present with all invasive procedures and can vary in severity.
• Haematoma: Blood can collect outside the blood vessels, usually within the first 24 hours after surgery.
• Seroma: Fluid can build up where tissue has been removed, which requires drainage.
• Implant rupture or tearing: With procedures that involve breast implants there is a risk that the implant breaks or ruptures.
• Fat necrosis: Fat tissue can die, which can lead to firm lumps at the surgical site.
• Fat embolism: Although it is rare, fat can enter the bloodstream and cause serious complications.

Secure optimal results with the right surgeon

To minimise the risks of a mommy makeover it is important to choose a skilled surgeon you feel comfortable with. You are advised to choose a surgeon who has long experience of performing these specific sets of procedures. Surgeons with this expertise are not only technically skilled but also understand how to minimise risks and manage any complications if they arise.
