Factor XII and need revisions after mommy make over

Question

Hello! I had a mommy make over 2.5 years ago and unfortunately my tummy scar is too high and goes vertically about an inch. Need more lipo in stomach area as well. Right flank was over lipoed so I have a clear line across my back. This result has left me super devastated. I moved to a different state, do not want to the original surgeon as they said they did the best they could. I recently found out I have Factor XII blood clotting disorder. I have a medical clearance so where can I get fixed?

A board certified plastic surgeon should be able to give you some options to correct this problem safely. Many procedures can be performed with Lovenox, an injectable blood thinner. Keep in mind that many postoperative issues can be improved, but full correction may not be possible. I would keep an open mind to any surgical options that may be available. `

Dear Glasshalffull3,
you had Factor XII blood clotting disorder also during primary surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Safety is the number one priority in surgery.  Due to your medical history and multiple concerns it is best that you are seen in person for an evaluation.  Visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to listen to opinions on how best to approach your situation.  The ASPS website can help you find surgeons in your area.  You can review credentials as well as before/after photos.

I'm sorry to hear that. You've had such difficulty with your mommy makeover. It certainly possible that your incision can be improved and more Lipo can be accomplished. A picture would make it easier to give a little better opinion about that possibility. The factor 12 deficiency does increase the complexity of your procedure. Hematology will have to be involved in recommending how to manage that deficiency before surgery during surgery and after surgery to ensure the safest outcome possible.
Best wishes!

Revisions can be done under local anesthesia.  If you have medical clearance then you should not have a problem finding a surgeon who will perform the revision.  You can also have the revision and liposuction done under general anesthesia as well.

Best Wishes,
