Liposuction and blood clots/embolism?

holiday81Mar 15, 2024
I have had two bbls with a great surgeon. The second bbl, my hips were made a bit too wide. Also I have put a bit of the weight back on. I want to go back for liposuction only to correct the hips and touch up other areas. If I didn't have any blood clots/complications in the first two is it more likely that I won't have any issues this time too? I'm scared to do a 3rd procedure due to risk. Should I avoid any areas, like legs? Thank you!
