Asked By:Drhotrod82 in Tampa, FL

Back in 2009, I had a PE. I was told being on birth control caused it. Fast forward later, I was diagnosed with Protein C and S deficiency. I'm not currently on any anticoagulants, however I had to be on lovenox during both my pregnancies and 3 months after. Can I still get lipo?
