Prothrombin Factor II - Will plastic surgeons say "no" to liposuction?

Fabulous588189Feb 28, 2025
Hello! I am 5'4" 135lbs with Lipedema and would like to get liposuction on my legs to remove excessive fat. I am generally healthy outside of that. If I have Prothrombin Factor II would I be able to get WAL Liposuction done under general anesthesia safely with blood thinners? I'd consult a hematologist, but wondering if it's an automatic "no" from plastic surgeons?
