How to avoid blood clot and cardiac arrest in mommy makeover surgery?

Thanks for your inquiry, first your general health is the most important factor.  If you have a history of heart disease or blood clots of course you should be concerned.  If not, pick a reputable board certified surgeon who only operates in accredited facilities. Sequential compression devices are a must during surgery to prevent blood clots, early ambulation is important and blood thinners can be considered.  Good Luck.

Thank you for the important question.  Careful preoperative evaluation will be important to make sure that you do not have a propensity for developing clots (and/or experiencing other types of complications) around the time of surgery.  This evaluation should  provide you with information such as whether or not you are at greater risk for developing thromboembolic or other complications... in some cases, depending on the patient's age and past medical history, this type of evaluation is best done by the part patient's  internist (or relevant specialist).
Your plastic surgeon will be able to determine your risk factors and whether or not to use any type of DVT chemoprophylaxis (blood thinners) around the time of surgery. In our practice, the use of sequential compression stockings and early ambulation after surgery is routine.Your best bet: choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow. Best wishes. 

 I hope this helps.
