I’m a 30 year old woman, I’m 5ft 10 and weigh 161 lbs, I have had two previous c sections and the first resulted in a PE, I have no clotting disorders or family history, I am also diabetic but is diet controlled, I understand all operations have risks and there is no certain answer but am I too high risk or would I be eligible for a tummy tuck and thigh lift ?
Answer: Assessing Risks for Tummy Tuck and Thigh Lift with a History of PE Thank you for your question regarding the possibility of undergoing a Tummy Tuck and Thigh Lift with a history of having a PE. It is essential to approach this matter with utmost caution and care. To determine the feasibility of the procedures, I recommend a thorough consultation with both your plastic surgeon and a Hematologist who specializes in blood clotting disorders.

Answer: Surgery Your medical doctor would be the one to help determine if you could be cleared for surgery. Once cleared, you should do the two procedures separately to decrease general anesthesia time and lower the risk of clots.

Answer: TT + thigh lift combination is not recommended Hello, pregnancy itself is one of the risk factors for PE. There are some prophylaxis before and after the surgery for PE. In my practise my patients who has history or risk of clotting disorders start using medication 1 week before the surgery. Medication goes on the first week of the surgery on all the patients, sometimes 1 month. In these kind of cases early and continuous mobilization is very important. You may have the tummy tuck surgery under these conditions but I dont recommend that combination even on healthy population. A patient with a PE history is too risky for that. Regards.

Answer: Risk Your health history does put you in a higher risk category. More information is needed to determine if it is "too high". Meet with your hematologist to discuss your interest in plastic surgery. You will also need medical clearance from your primary care physician or whomever manages your diabetes. If clearance is given on both accounts there are still other preventative measures that will be taken to minimize risk as much as possible.
