Abdominoplasty | Contraindications | Complications
Abdominoplasty
Tummy Tuck
Contraindications Contraindications
to abdominoplasty include right, left, or bilateral upper quadrant scars ; severe
comorbid conditions (eg, heart disease, diabetes, morbid obesity, cigarette smoking);
future plans for pregnancy; a history of thromboembolic disease; and unrealistic
patient expectations. Additional relative contraindications include moderate obesity
in a patient who expects a perfectly flat abdomen. Also, patients who tend to
form keloids or hypertrophic scars should not undergo an abdominoplasty unless
they are willing to accept the scarring associated with these conditions.
