Liposuction while on coumadin?

Samiramj
I had a mechanical mitral valve replacement when I was 14 and I've been on coumadin since. I have all the measurements to be a fashion model, except for my hips. I'm 5'9.5", 32-24-37.5. I have been offered contracts by all the top agencies in the world. I've tried everything to lose the inches but had no success. I've been at this for few years and it has been truly an emotionally devastating ordeal. I feel like lipo is the only shot I got, but I dont want to risk my life for it. Is this doable?
