Are the risks too high for me to have a tummy tuck? I've never had a clot (just pregnancy losses). Thank you!
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.
