    As with any major surgery, abdominoplasty carries inherent clinical risks. Potential complications include, but are not limited to:

    Infection or adverse reactions to anaesthesia.

    Poor wound healing or prominent scarring.

    Accumulation of blood (haematoma) or fluid (seroma), which may require secondary medical drainage.

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary complications.

    Asymmetry or permanent changes in skin sensation.
