Asked By:BizzyLizzy72 in Houston, Texas

Hello. I have had previous blood clotting issues due to a large fibroid sitting on my vein. I had an hysterectomy and was on blood thinners for awhile and an IVC filter was implanted. That was in 2017, I havent had any issues since. My leg still swells from time to time. I would like to get a mommmy make over and a BBL. I was just wondering if the IVC filter will hinder the tummy tuck? Thank you in advance.
