Does tummy tuck surgery have any risks?

Sure, like any surgery there are risks. The problem is that there are way too many plastic surgeons performing this procedure and some are just plain awful. So you have to pick a decent surgeon. Complications of tummy tuck include infections, fluid and blood collection at the incision site, and loss of sensation where the incision was made. If you continue to smoke, your healing may be poor and your skin may die, making closure difficult. Other side effects include formation of blood clots, wound separation, asymmetry, pain, swelling of legs, nerve damage, perhaps need for another surgery and a poor cosmetic result. These complications occur in at least 10-18 percent of women.
