Factor V Leiden Gene: Is a Tummy Tuck Still Possible?

April 11, 2011
Asked By:Isabelle44

I am heterozygous for Factor V Leiden- Is there a protocol for pre or post operative management? I know there is a increase risk of blood clotting with this, and am wondering if there is a standard of care with these patients. Specifically for tummy tuck and liposuction patients. Thank you.
