Is it possible to have a tummy tuck with a factor vii deficiency?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You will need to begin by meeting with your hematologist to discuss your desire for a tummy tuck.  If given surgical clearance you can then schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.  There may be some extra precautions necessary for your safety.

Your board certified PS will require clearance from the hematologist who is managing your Factor VII Deficiency and will likely consult with him/her regarding the drugs prescribed to minimize your risk of excessive bleeding.

Dear Compassionate898989,
you should be healthy prior to any elective procedure. You will need to get a clearance from your hematologist. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question.  Each surgeon will have their own protocol they wish for you to follow.  With that being said typically if you are medically cleared by your PCP, Hematologist and any other specialist they recommend it shouldn't be a problem.  Your surgeon may also recommend being operated on in the hospital.  I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options.  Best of luck to you.

Most patients with genetic bleeding disorders can still have elective surgery. You need to get clearance and co-management from a hematologist.

Sometimes primary care doctors can help with this as well.

Best,
