I’ve just been diagnosed with Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) disease. Is it possible to have a mommy makeover?

Thanks for your inquiry, you do need to discuss with your surgeon about getting clearance from your medical team and coming up with a anticoagulation therapy plan, best of luck.  

Because of your recent diagnosis of APS, you need to ensure that not only your board certified plastic surgeon, but also you rheumatologist or hematologist develop a risk-benefit assessment for your mommy makeover.  They will need to concur on a management plan which includes your medications and other prevention methods before and after surgery to minimize the risk of blood clots.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

This doesn't necessarily rule you out from having surgery, it will just require planning your part and the part of your plastic surgeon.  You will need to make sure that your hematologist is aware and on board with your surgery.  He or she will give advice to your surgeon on the best way to manage your problem during and around surgery.  Equally important is choosing a board certified plastic surgeon with experience with treating challenging medical problems and great experience in breast and body contouring.  This would include having and anesthesiologist that they trust and an accredited surgical facility.  Again, with good planning and the correct team, I think your goals could be met.  Good  luck to you.
