With history of PE can I still get tummy tuck?

September 11, 2020
Asked By:_sammyslays

I’m 25 years old with 3 children. I had a small pulmonary embolism back in October of 2015 due to birth control. I was put on blood thinners (xeralto) up until 6 months after as well as seeing a hematologist regularly. I have never had any complications since then and I don’t have any underlying blood clotting disorder. I’ve also had a breast augmentation last year with no complications. Would I still be considered a candidate for a tummy tuck? Please let me know. Thank you!
