Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with bleeding disorder

Von Willebrand's disease is not an uncommon disorder and is well known to most plastic surgeons. The amount of bleeding is variable.An evaluation by a hematologist is typically indicated prior to elective surgery.Liposuction and fat transfer are typically procedures with little blood loss when done correctly and with appropriate use of tumescent solution. You should not need to travel to see a specialist to take care of you. My practice is devoted almost entirely to body contouring using liposuction and fat transfer.I have had several patients recently with Von Willebrand's disease. All of them did fine and each one had a thorough evaluation prior to their procedure. I suggest consulting in person with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon in your community. He or she can help determine if you are a candidate for this procedure and can start any needed medical workup regarding your bleeding disorder.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
