Muscle Repair with Pre-existing Conditions - is it possible for me to have a Tummy Tuck?

March 11, 2022
Asked By:steph5678 in Santa Clara, California

I have a large abdominal seperation that is causing significant pain and impacting my quality of life. I would like to have a tummy tuck to fix it, but when I was 3 weeks postpartum, I ended up with a provoked dvt and was diagnosed with factor v leiden heterozygous. I also have hEDS (that has caused me no problem my entire life). Is it possible for me to have this surgery?
