I am looking into getting a mastopexy + breast augmentation however I have Factor V (heterozygous). I have never had a clot, do not smoke, am on progestin only bc, am a healthy weight, and lead a healthy lifestyle. I am not currently on any blood thinners. My mother( also heterozygous) died of a blood clot but never took any precautions as she had been undiagnosed. Is surgery too risky for me or would blood thinners make this a safe possibility?
