I am scheduled for a mommy makeover. I have varicose veins that are bothersome. Am I at a higher risk for blood clots? I am so worried that I will have something go wrong in recovery. Should I go through with the procedure? I'm scared of the worst. Any advice?
Answer: Varicose veins and DVT risk Thanks for your posted question. Varicose veins can affect your risk for blood clots, but your surgeon will take into consideration this and other factors that can affect this risk. There are ways to decrease the risk of blood clots (called deep vein thrombosis), including garments placed on your legs to keep blood flowing while you are asleep, or medications that help prevent clots from forming. Your surgeon will be the best source of advice since they know your full medical history.

Answer: Blood clot prevention The question is, are your deep veins open at this point? Your surgeon can do a simple test to find out. Low molecular weight heparin and mechanical prophylaxis should make the surgery go safely for you. Good luck!
