Currently on Clopidogrel (Plavix) as a blood thinner. Is it out of the question to consider Smart Lipo while on this medication?

Stroke and heart attack survivors are the only people who take plavix. You can't have lipo even if you stop the plavix. Too risky. Beauty isn't worth dying for.

I usually have patients ask their physician if it is okay to stop the medication prior to surgery.  If it is a necessity, there are still options for the procedure.  Since I do tumescent anesthesia only and use a very safe technique, I have never had any problems with patients on blood thinners.  But it is best to have your physician work with your surgeon.  Vitamin K pills and arnika help and all my patients use that, along with good compression garments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the question, to me it is not necessarily the medication but the reason for the medication. I would discuss it with your cardiologist or whomever is prescribing your medication
