I'm in my early 20s and have recently lost quite abut of weight. I always had big breast so they are my priority to fix.At biggest my breast were 38L (UK size). I have been diagnosed with raised factor 8 and am currently on warfarin. Would this even be possible?

Answer: Breast surgery and warfarin Hello and thank you for the question. I believe it's possible for you to have an elective breast surgery. I would start by consulting a qualified plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will likely consult with your hematologist to adjust your peri-operative management (which could involve switching warfarin to another short-acting blood thinner a few days before the surgery and then re-starting you back on warfarin a few days after surgery). It's best that you discuss these with your hematologist and your surgeon and let them coordinate your care. Best,

Answer: Breast surgery with anticoagulation Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. As you probably already know the use of warfarin increases the risk of bleeding during surgery and during post operative period. However, there are some options to address this if you want to have surgery. Discuss further with your hematologist for clearance and recommendations.
