Tummy tucks, also known as abdominoplasty, are cosmetic operations aimed at firming or reshaping the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin. Although procedures are considered to be relatively safe, the risks they carry can be particularly serious or even life-threatening. If something does go wrong and that error, which is the result of negligence, causes an injury, it may be possible to seek compensation.
Injuries commonly caused by negligently performed tummy tucks that may entitle the victim to compensation include:
- Infection
- Haematoma (blood clots)
- Scarring
- Skin loss or dead fat cells, also known as necrosis
- Numbness and nerve damage
- Skin discolouration
