Asked By:agaddis2 in Chicago, IL

Hi, 9 months post delivery, developed a SVT in my great saphenous vein in my upper thigh. I'm no longer on blood thinners. I would like lipo in my calves and thighs. Would I need to go in blood thinners before? Is there any more heightened risk with this condition? (genetic testing came back normal, clot was due to pregnancy)
