With history of PE can I still get tummy tuck?

Hello, Yes you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck.We would anticoagulate you prior to surgery as well as a few days post-operation.

Thank you for your question. Each surgeon will have their own protocol when it comes to dealing with patients that past medical issues with PE's . As long as you are medically cleared by your specialist and PCP it shouldn't be a problem. Although it maybe a reason that your surgeon will choose to do your procedure in the hospital vs an ambulatory center. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate your situation and advise how you should move forward. Best of luck to you.

Hello! Most likely your plastic surgeon would require preoperative lab work and hematology clearance to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. I would suggest consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!

Dear _sammyslays,
you will need to get a clearance from your hematologist prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Ideal candidates for a TT are at or near their ideal weight and have good skin elasticity. Most plastic surgeons look for a BMI close to 30 to ensure maximum results and to decrease the risks of complications during and after surgery. If you have been cleared by your hematologist and all precautions have been taken, having a TT would seem reasonable.

You are very young and the history of PE is in your body already.
Tummy Tuck is a wonderful procedure but it is undeniable that will force you to rest for several weeks, forcing you to be inmobile in order to heal properly, the muscle repair, the skin closure, the compression garment, all are confirmed by research all over the world, that impact directly over the intra-abdominal pressure and increase the risk to the thrombosis which is the underlying condition for the Pulmonary embolism.
If you would've been my sister, I would not perform on you and let the possibility for surgery only for emergencies.

Your safety is always the number one priority in surgery, with this in mind there are a few extra steps for you. You will need to speak with your hematologist to get surgical clearance before being considered for a tummy tuck. Extra precautions will also need to be taken to ensure your safety during and after the procedure.
