Tragic Tummy Tuck:

A few days back, I came across this news piece relating a tummy tuck procedure that went awry and allegedly led to the patient’s death. There were actually three plastic surgeries that this woman had gone into the operation theatre for, liposuction, breast reduction and a tummy tuck, and all to relieve chronic back problems.

While the lawyer alleges that Tracey Jordan, 38 died due to the wrong drug being administered during the plastic surgery procedure, the hospital has reserved comment on the matter.

It is not possible to gauge who is the wronged party in this case due to the lack of information. What can be deduced from this matter is the care that needs to be taken when an individual is contemplating a major surgery like a tummy tuck for health reasons.

Frequently, health problems that already exist in a patient desiring a plastic surgery pose potential risks and can result in major complications post surgery. A seemingly small matter like allergies can escalate into major health hazards.

Discuss with your tummy tuck plastic surgeon any health defects you are suffering from and the chances you have of a smooth recovery. Educate your doctor about your body and he will be able to perform better.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more information and help on tummy tuck procedures and treatments.
