What Are the Chances of Having a Blood Clot After a Tummy Tuck?

Also how long do you have to worry about a blood clot after a tummy tuck? This is the ONLY thing that is holding me back from doing this.( Even though I do have a date set, I wake up so worried about a blood clot) Both of my parents passed due to infection after surgery, but they were both not in good health. I am in great health, 45 years old. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
