I have had 4 csections in the past. During my second I had a Pulmonary embolism. What do you recommend? Also do you know of any dr’s that specialize with this Deficiency. I’m healthy and only had to take meds while pregnant.

Answer: Can I get a BBL if I'm protein C deficient? Hello and thank you for your question. You are at higher risk of have DVT and possibly PE post op.Blood thinners are often used to prevent DVT or blood clots in the legs.. Strategies to prevent DVT include early ambulation post op, pharmacological measures (subcutaneous heparin, etc) or mechanical with the use of SCD machines (intra-op and postop). Plastic surgeons typically determine the DVT risk using standardized formulas (e.g. Caprini score) and decide on the best regimen based on the patient's calculated risk. Your surgeon should consult with a hematologist for assistance in prevention strategies.Best wishes,
