I'm 28 yrs old with 2 kids. After having my babies my body is definitely not the same as before. I've had 2 Pulmonary Embolism and have been put on Coumadin.Lately, I've been considering having Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck. Would I be able to have the surgery being that I am on a blood thinner? Or should I just completely get that thought out of my head?

Answer: Blood thinners should be avoided when having elective cosmetic surgery Hi Maria81 - Taking unnecessary risks when having elective cosmetic surgery is not a good idea. Blood thinners should be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery, and this should be cleared with your medical doctors and plastic surgeons first.

Answer: Don't do it. Your later thought is the sensical approach. Unless you are facing some life threatening indication for a tummy tuck (virtually impossible), there is no reason to undergo this procedure while on coumadin, And even in this scenario, the coumadin would be stopped.
