Answer: Lovenox In order to determine if you need to be on Lovenox, more health information is needed. For now, ask your surgeon or medical doctor. Routinely, we do not place people on Lovenox for liposuction.

Answer: Does Lipo 360 require Lovenox after surgery Hello! The quick answer is generally No. Your surgeon will evaluate your risk factor for clotting after surgery. There is actually a well established and utilized score system. Some factors include your age, weight, whether you are on hormones, if you have previously experienced blood clots, how long the surgery will take, and other variables. Based on this score your surgeon will decide if you require Lovenox. Typically with torso liposuction the risk of clotting is low and will not require protection provided by Lovenox. I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org. Best of luck to you!
