Am I at a high risk for blood clots during a Breast Lift with Implants?

October 28, 2021
Asked By:DrMe in Hyattsville, MD

I had abdominoplasty in 2005. I ended up with a PE. I was on blood thinners for 9 months. However, in 2011 I had a breast lift with implants and fortunately I didn't have any complications and healed quickly. I am now interested in another breast lift with implants and abdominal etching. I keep getting screened out by doctors bc of my history of a blood clot. Am I at a higher risk now bc of what occurred 16 years ago? Even the best surgeons are screening me out! Why is this? I'm bummed.
