I've Been Diagnosed with APS (Never Had a Clot) - is a Tummy Tuck Too Dangerous for Me?

Your condition would increase the risk for pulmonary embolism at the time of the abdominoplasty. There are many other factors to consider. Your surgeon will probably consulting hematologist and possibly administer perioperative or postoperative prophylaxis.

I would make sure you are cleared by your medical doctor before getting any surgery.  If he/she is okay with it, then you can probably proceed with your tummy tuck.

Best to have a full evaluation by a hematologist  prior to considering elective surgery. He/she may have specific recommendations for you and/or your plastic surgeon.

 Best wishes.

You ask an interesting question.  The answer depends on a few things.  APS (Antiphospholipid syndrome) is an autoimmune condition that has a wide spectrum of presentation.  If you require anticoagulation at all times, then the answer would be yes - it is too dangerous.  On the other hand if you just have only one blood test positive then it may be safe.

In your case I think a careful consultation with both your plastic surgeon and your hematologist can give you a reasonable estimate of the risks.  Then you can make an informed decision.  Best of luck to you.
