I have lost 100 lbs and now want a mommy makeover. I have had several consultations and only one doctor was agreeable to do the mommy makeover with my hx of blood clot (which we believe was caused by birth control). I am no longer on blood thinner since (2018). That doctor's office staff was horrible and I did not book the procedure with him. Is it possible to get a mommy makeover with my history outpatient?

Answer: History of a blood clot With a previous history of a blood clot, you may still be a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Your surgeon will most likely require labs, medical clearance and clearance from a hematologist. Your surgeon may require you to stay overnight for monitoring. When choosing a plastic surgeon, I recommend choosing a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: History of a blood clot - is it possible to get a mommy makeover? Hello, And thank you for question. Prior personal history of blood clots puts you at higher risk for blood clots in the future, especially after long surgery like Mommy Makeover procedure. Sometimes patients are started on special blood thinner medication after the surgery as well. I would encourage you to have the consultation with a Hematologist, as well as a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, and concerns. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
