It is a three hour surgery under IV sedation,,no intubation. What are my risks of blood clotting in legs, etc? My EKG was perfect. Have never had any indications before this blood testing. I am 60 year old female. Thank you.

Answer: Facelifting #woundhealing #cosmeticsurgery #BOTOX #tmbcosmeticsurgery Dear troylinThank you for your question! In regards to blood clot risk- in general risks are lower with sedation. In regard to clotting factors out of normal range- this would have to be addressed by your surgeon and or a hematologist.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: Hematologist It sounds like you need to have your blood work reviewed by a hematologist prior to surgery. Best of luck.
