How long after surgery is the safe zone for blood clots?

arizonasky
I have been reading about some cases where people have developed blood clots after surgery. How long after surgery is the safe zone, where if you haven't developed a clot, you won't? Do a lot of people develop non life threatening clots after surgery? I am specifically inquiring about a tummy tuck/ breast lift surgery together.
