I am planning to have breast augmentation. I am concern about the history of PE i had during my second pregnancy. I was on blood thinner and later postpartum my haematologist did blood work to check if any factor missing causing clots. Reports cane clean and it was ruled that pregnancy was reason. I am concern as breast augmentation is surgery. Surgery may trigger clots. Please advice way forward.
Answer: Surgery Pregnancy has a lot of hormonal changes which you are not having now. Do tell your plastic surgeon about the blood clots and blood thinning shots can be done to be more safe.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for submitting your question! A hx of a PE or blood clots/blood clot disorders would not be a reason you wouldn't be able to get surgery done. That would absolutely be something you would want to talk to your surgeon and the nurses about so they are aware of your hx prior to surgery. There is medications you should be given prior to surgery, precautions taken while you're in surgery and precautions post surgery to reduce your risk of that happening again. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Answer: Blood clots You can safely have a breast augmentation with the history of a PE during pregnancy. I advise coordinating the surgery with your hematologist to see if any blood thinning medication is indicated for your breast augmentation. Sometimes it is recommended that you hold your oral contraceptive pills if you take them. Many times for patients with your history, no further treatments is needed for a short, straightforward surgery like a breast augmentation.

Answer: Blood clots Safety is always the number one priority in surgery. Breast augmentation is not a surgery that is associated with a high risk of blood clots, but your previous PE does increase your risk. It is important to discuss your history with your plastic surgeon. Clearance from your hematologist may be indicated for you. In addition your surgeon may initiate preventative protocols during and after surgery to address your increased risk.
