Answer: Blood Clots Good Morning! The risk with liposuction or FaceTite should be low in an otherwise healthy patient. The bleeding with each procedure is minimal. As long as your primary care physician clears you from a bleeding perspective, you should do well. Hope this helps!

Answer: Fortunately, can be done under local anesthesia The good news about chin liposuction and facetite (which can be done together) is that it can be done under local anesthesia, so if done this way the risk of blood clots would be very low compared to a procedure that requires general anesthesia. That being said, make sure to discuss with your plastic surgeon, as the reason you had a PE matters and they may want you to obtain clearance from your hematologist.
