I was diagnosed with factor v after I got a blood clot. Is it too risky to get Breast implants?

TcBreJan 15, 2015
I was diagnosed with factor v after I got a blood clot. My circumstances were crazy, I smoked, was on a long plane ride, and was on yaz. My doctor decided I didn't need to be on long term blood thinners considering all the circumstances that were in play when I got it. That was 8 years ago. I've had no incidents since. I would like to get breast implants and I wanted to know if it was too risky? I cleaned up my lifestyle (exercise, no smoking, etc) after the clot.

 bottoming out appearing at three months may indeed progress over the ensuing months. Wait until the situation stabilized and if the results are unsatisfactory a revision will be necessary.

Thanks for the question. While the implants should not rupture, biting is probably not in your best interest. If it actually broke the skin it could lead to an infection which could jeopardize the implant. Best of Luck!

This Is perfectly normal and will disappear in the next few weeks. It is from air and fluid (irrigation, local anesthetic, serum, etc) in the pocket which will be naturally absorbed over time.

Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give to my patients: 1) No heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks. 2) Resume walking at a leisurely pace right after surgery (e.g. 2 mph) 3) At 2...

Sure, you can have lip fillers done at the same time as your breast augmentation. However, even if your plastic surgeon cannot accommodate you at the time of surgery b/c of need for photos, filler, etc., you can have it done at a subsequent post-op visit with very little downtime. Hope this helps!
