Can I get a breast reduction while being on blood thinners after being treated for a DVT?

Asked By:cadymars in South Saint Paul, MN

Last December I found out I had a DVT in my left leg (which came back twice), due to the fact that I was apparently born without my inferior vena cava. I'm now on the blood thinner Xeralto to treat it, probably for life. My question is, is plastic surgery even a possibility for me? I'm currently a 36DD but I constantly have serious back pain and my breasts pretty much just don't flatter my figure. I really want a breast reduction but I don't know if I can due to my DVT history.
