Pulmonary Embolism After Tummy Tuck & Lipo. Is It Possible After 20 Days from Surgery?

Yes this is possible.Post op I try to get my patients walking and ambulatory and NOT sitting around to increase blood flow and circulation in your lower extremities.

A pulmonary embolism is certainly possible 20 days post liposuction and tummy tuck. The clot may form in the leg(s) early in the postoperative period and dislodge to become a pulmonary embolism far later in the postoperative course.
