Does progesterone up the risk of PVT and PE? (Photos)

Question

My PS wants my Mirena out 3 wks before surgery. It contains progesterone, not estrogen I'm getting a TT/lipo to flanks. I have researched Mirena & looked at answers on RS. I'm finding that estrogen seems to be the hormone that can increase the risk of PVT and PE; Mirena does not contain estrogen. I am going to take it out because I want to be as safe as possible and follow what my surgeon has asked, but was wondering why some say it's completely safe and others do not (like my PS). My BMI is 32 so I am also wondering if that combined with any hormone at all, is the issue?

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire back, waist and flanks liposuction, with BBL, and tummy tuck, this is because all the extra skin located in this areas plus your abdominal muscle needs to be repaired. Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.
  
Have a great day!
