Which is better for a tummy tuck, Lovenox or Arixtra?

Asked By:skinnyminny1 in Denver, Colorado

My PS suggested I take Lovenox due to a past DVT in my leg and my MTHFR gene. I have read a few posts on here about Arixtra and wanted to know if that is a better alternative? My PS says the only real complication with adding Lovenox is addtional bruising and he does a no drain TT. Does that sound correct or is he minimalizing it?
