Hello @Genuine574986 thank you for your question. Is important you consult with your endocrinologist, if you have your doctor approval yes you can have your surgery. Keep in mind that for any surgery you want to undergo, you need to be in good health, which reduces the risks in the operating room and it depends on every specialist the requirements for every surgery.. I suggest you consult with several board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Dear Genuine574986,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You will want to begin by speaking with your primary physician as to why your PTT is elevated and addressing it.  Once the underlying reason is identified and it is well controlled you can visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for a tummy tuck.

Thank you for your questions. With any significant medical history, it is a requirement to have medical clearance from the medical doctor who manages your health care. During your potential surgery, your surgeon and doctor will work together to develop the best plan for you. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. In our office we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

Preoperative lab tests should be discussed with the surgeon.

If you’ve selected a provider then I suggest you ask him or her. If not then I suggest having in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons at which time you can review your medical history and lab results.

Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Your PTT is slightly elevated...It is only a part of a puzzle which when added to your clinical history and examination may provide sufficient information to provide an answer to causation. Borderline lab results by themselves are not sufficient to determining candidacy for cosmetic surgery on their own. When combined with more information and your physician's judgement, your surgeon will determine if further blood studies are required. 
Best wishes...
