What Are The Chances of DVT and PE After Tummy Tuck?

Asked By:Kansascurious123 in Kansas City, MO

I was reading a lot of comments about this topic and most surgeons say it happens but it's rare, then I read it's 1/300 w Tummy tucks will develope this issue. My questions to the surgeons out there is in your practice how many times have you dealt with this issue out of how many years, and does your practice use blood thinners with your patients?
