I developed PE possibly from prolonged birth control. I am really interested in getting a tummy tuck, I have had elective surgery before however this was prior to be diagnosed. What are your thoughts, is there a safe way or should this be avoided altogether? 40 y/o female with a BMI of 31.

Answer: PE Your safety is always the number one priority during surgery. You will want to first speak to your hematologist about your desire for a tummy tuck. If surgical clearance is given you can meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. It is best if you reduce your BMI prior to surgery. Those with a BMI above 30 are at higher risk for complications such as seroma, infection, and poor wound healing. It will also give your surgeon the opportunity to optimize your results.
