Can I get a Tummy Tuck if i have a vitamin k deficiency?
You would need a hematologist medical clearance and recommendation to see what would be needed prior to surgery.
Vitamin K is important for many reasons. Low vitamin K levels can cause bleeding issues and this may be a significant concern for elective cosmetic surgery. I suggest having a few in person consultations at which time you can get an assessment and talk about your medical history. Plastic surgeons may ask for hematology consultation in order to get clearance for electric surgical procedures. Some surgeons may say this is a contraindication for others may be willing to do the procedure if you take appropriate measures. You’ll have to ask provider how they feel about your situation.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
