I went and got a protein s panel done and my doctor was kind of confusing... 1. my protein s activity is 39 out of range. normal is (60-140) 2. my protein s free is 29 out of range. normal is 64-131 3. my protein s antigen is 61 out of range. normal is 70-140 Does this mean i have a protein s deficiency because my levels are out or range? If so is it still safe to get a tummy tuck and breast augmentaion done?
Answer: Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation With Protein S Deficiency?
Thank you for the question.
You will be best off having a full evaluation by a well experienced hematologist. He/she will evaluate your past medical history ( especially in regards to bleeding/clotting) and laboratory studies. The hematologist would be able to provide a recommendation to you and your plastic surgery in regards to the feasibility/safety of undergoing the planned procedures. Perioperative medical management may also be recommended by your hematologist.
Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Mommy makeover with Protein S deficiency I would start with a consultation to a hematologist. In our surgery center, all clotting disorders get a plan from the hematologist for surgery in writing prior to surgery. There likely will be some additional testing that will help determine if you are safe to proceed.

Answer: Possible with clearance and right precautions
You need to obtain clearance from your hematologist and make sure your plastic surgeon follows the recommendations. This usually requires compression stocking before during and after surgery. Injections of Lovenox an anticoagulant may also be suggested around your procedure.
Make sure you understand all the additional rails with this condition before proceeding! Good luck!

Answer: A hematologist should evaluate your protein S profile
Thank you for your question. As a protein S profile is not normally part or a routine preoperative evaluation, it is likely that there was something suspicious in your history or family history to suggest that you may be at risk for blood clots after surgery. It is essential that you have sequential stockings on during surgery and you likely need some sort of chemoprophylaxis (medication to prevent blood clots) around the time of your surgery. You should absolutely see a hematologist to help evaluate your risk of blood clots to determine if you are even a candidate for elective surgery and to help determine what you should take and for how long. Make sure that you move your feet and legs frequently and get up and walk around as much as possible after surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Abdominoplasty and breast augmentation with clotting disorder You will need a comprehensive work up and recomendation by a hemotologist and then proceed with surgery. They will likely recommend lovenox injections before and after surgery. This does increase your chances of bruising and likely not increase bleeing tendency. I have performed these procedures in my practice with the before mentioned criteria. Best of luck.
