I’m considering getting a mommy makeover, but I have mild varicose veins. I have been to a vein specialist that ruled out clots. From time to time the veins do cause me pain after lifting weights. Would I even be a good candidate for a mommy makeover with my old varicose vein? With having varicose veins, does it put you more at risk for blood clots?

Answer: Mommy makeover Hello, varicose veins of the lower extremities do add an extremely small risk for surgery for an otherwise healthy patient. It is one item on a grading scale in regards to the risk of a blood clot after surgery. It would not exclude you from surgery if you are otherwise healthy and it would not elevate your risk to anything that approaches an unacceptable level. Good luck.
