Mummy makeover and chronic venous insufficiency/varicose veins.

December 7, 2016
Asked By:Aussie25 in Baltimore, MD

I received treatment for back in April for chronic venous insufficiency. I had The Venefit procedure done on both my legs & now having Sclerotherapy to tidy up both my legs. Would I be at a higher risk for blood clots? I was also told that it should look into getting checked for varicose veins in my pelvis (pelvic congestion syndrome) due to my symptoms during my last 3 pregnancies, is this also something that would cause issues during a tummy tuck & recovery? Much appreciated.
