Asked By:yetigrrl in Haleyville, AL

I (woman, 54 years old, mother of twins, 5’2” 140 lbs) am ready to have an abdominoplasty. I have a history of DVT, severe endometriosis which resulted in hysterectomy, and take estrogen. What questions should I ask in a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon? What steps can I take, now, to prepare for a best outcome? What recommendations would you make to a loved one with my medical history, who is preparing to undertake abdominoplasty?
