Hi there,I have treated numerous patient with Factor V Leiden.As long as you are worked up properly and have the OK from your Haematologist the risk should be relatively low. All my procedures are performed under local anaesthetic and IV sedation. Don't undertake too much in one setting. Split the procedure into 2 sessions - abdomen+ flanks and then a few weeks later the thighs.The option is also to have some injectable anticoagulants.Importantly remain mobile, hydrated and wear the VTE stockings.
you will be at higher risk for developing blood clots with this condition. You should talk to your primary care doctor or Internet and most likely have a consultation with the hematologist first. Any plastic surgeon who is credible will want you to get medical clearance by hematologist. The plastic surgeon may need to take special precautions to minimize the chance of you developing blood clots. Liposuction it can be done without the use of General Anastasia. This is one option you can choose to lower the chance of developing blood clots from the procedure. I would start by having a discussion with your primary care doctor. You can also consult with a few local board-certified plastic surgeons to make sure you're a good candidate for liposuction. About 1/3 of the patients will consult with me for liposuction are not good candidates for the procedure and I would do better either not having liposuction or having a difference procedure.

A full discussion of relative risk can be provided by your hematologist. Your hematologist is your information source in this situation, allowing you to make an informed decision after examination / appropriate laboratory work.Best wishes...

Thanks for your question. I agree with the first answer, there is no right or wrong answer to this question, but mainly a variation in practice and patient cases or response to the procedure. I recommend following up with your surgeon who did your procedure and ask for the best advice...
