I have type 1 Von Willebrands bleeding disorder. I would like to have a tummy tuck with lipo. I would like to know if having Von Willebrands increases my risk to the point where I would not be a candidate for the surgery. I have had 3 C-sections and a partial hysterectomy. I was premedicated with DDAVP and IV Benadryl (I am allergic to DDAVP) before past surgery and have had little to no bleeding. Thoughts? 46 yrs old, 5ft, 143lbs
