Answer: You're not completely cleared Dear Ltiffany, Once you've had a history of PE, provoked or unprovoked, you are at higher risk for future clotting events in the face of a surgical procedure. This would call for you to be anticoagulated for a BBL. Only you can decide if a larger buttocks is worth the risk. Good luck!

Answer: History of pulmonary embolus Factors for having a pulmonary embolism one of the big ones is having a previous pulmonary embolism. Some plastic surgeons may feel this is a contraindication and others may feel comfortable doing the procedure if you get clearance from a hematologist. You also need to find out if you’re a good candidate for the procedure since you did not include pictures. Personal consultation for local, board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with the procedure. You’ll get individuals. Personal opinion there’s a consultation regarding your candidacy and their opinion regarding your medical history. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
