Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

Is it safe for a TT? I have May-Thurner Syndrome that causes blood clots in my leg. I have a umbrella filter in my iliac vein.

Is having liposuction and a tummy tuck safe for someone with my condition? Would any doctor even try to do the surgery on me? How much overweight do you have to be to be able to have it done? I have also had acute compartment syndrome caused by a blood clot?
