A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a surgery that has been shown to have an increased risk for blood clots in the legs which can lead to the clots breaking off and going to your lungs with the potential to cause death. This is called deep venous thrombosis (DVT's) and pulmonary embolism. No matter what it is called, it is not a desirable complication. Pelvic varicose veins or pelvic congestion syndrome however, has not been shown to result in a higher risk for DVT's. It is a condition of varicose veins in the pelvis and can be treated with a radiology procedure called embolism. Your condition generally causes pelvic and abdominal pain. This should be treated prior to a tummy tuck as the increased pressure on the abdomen when the tummy is tightened with a tummy tuck, will likely make the pain your pelvic varicose veins worse.I hope that helps.Best regards.
