Asked By:midnight98 in Boston, MA

I had a mini stroke about 5 years ago. I do not have hypertension. My doctor is not sure why I had the mini-stroke. I tested positive for the lupus- anti I forgot the whole name. The hematologist felt more comfortable for my to be placed on Warfarin. I am currently 52. Is it safe for me to have liposuction done?
