The risks associated with Tummy Tuck surgery are listed below:

Skin Numbness
Skin numbness may appear near the incision due to the nerves being cut during the tummy tuck surgery. In very rare cases this nerve damage could be permanent.

Infection
The patient needs to take antibiotics as prescribed and keep the incision area clean, if not, infection may occur.

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)
After the tummy tuck surgery you will need to get as much rest as possible, but also keep your legs mobile in order to prevent the forming of blood clots and avoid DVT.

Poor Scar Formation
Post Tummy Tuck scars are a given and unavoidable, though the length and visibility varies from person to person. Some patients could develop a keloid or hypertrophic scar. Certain ethnicities are more likely to develop keloid scars.

Necrosis
During the tummy tuck surgery the excess skin is detached from the muscle layer so that the skin can be removed and the muscles tightened. Due to this it is possible that in some cases the blood flow can be interrupted which is necesary to keep the skin healthy, causing skin near the incision to die.

Fluid Accumulation Beneath the Skin (Seroma).
After the tummy tuck surgery the body will try to healt itself, fluid will accumulate in the incision area. If your body cant absorb all the fluid it will start to collect underneath your skin.
