Could hormonal birth control (Mirena IUD ring) affect my recovery?

Chitb
I have the Mirena IUD ring. It says one of the side effects is higher risk of blood clots. How common is that for women who just had Lipo, TT & BBL surgery? Are there any cases where their birth control really affected their recovery? Or affected the doctors choice to take them on for surgery?
