Will having varicose veins increase my chances of blood clots post op? (Photo)

The risk for blood clots is determined by many factors and all of these should be examined.  Tummy tuck would produce a nice result for you.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

 Superficial   Varicose veins really should have little effect on the development of blood clots that cause pulmonary embolism. It is a deep venous system that generates these types of clots.
