Answer: Risks of Contraception and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Extra circulating hormones in your system can increase the risk of blood clots which can lead to pulmonary embolism and death. If you have no other risk factors, you are at low risk. You should share your full medical history with your surgeon. Your doctor should review your risk factor score for DVT/thromboembolic event with you before proceeding. IV sedation versus general anesthesia will also make a difference. Regardless of which type of anesthesia is used, after surgery make sure to get up and walk with assistance every hour starting on the day of surgery.

Answer: Birth control pills and surgery This is a question you should discuss with your surgeon as he/she will have different preferences. Being on birth control pills can increase your risk of blood clots after surgery however most of my patient's are walking around right after surgery and I usually allow them to continue birth control during their surgical period.
