Is it safe to undergo lipo and BA surgery when you're on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Asked By:mtngoddess in Colorado, CO

I'm a 57-year-old healthy female that has been on BHRT in pellet form since May 2017. In December I'm having liposuction and breast augmentation and I've read about the risks of blood clots with BHRT. My surgeon says he will use those automatic leg massagers during surgery to prevent clots, but my question is, is it generally safe to have surgery when you're on BHRT? I know there are always risks, but have many of you performed surgeries on patients who are on BHRT?
