Is there any correlation between restless leg syndrome and increased risk of blood clots during/after surgery?

I have had restless leg syndrome for most of my life, and the disorder has a lot of similarities/co-morbidity with various vein and nerve diseases, including venous insufficiency. I am scared that this might put me at a higher risk for a blood clot. Are there any parallels between the two things, and is there a way I can assess my vein health/propensity for blood clots before surgery?

Thank you for your question and pictures. In your case I recommend a Tummy Tuck with liposuction after losing weight (at least 20-25 lbs to achieve a BMI of 33-34) It's important to understand what each procedure can do for you. When a Liposuction is performed, most of the fat under skin is...

Recovery varies with the patient. Swelling can persist for 3 to 6 months following submental liposuction but typically peaks in the first 48 to 72 hours. Bruising usually resolves in 2 - 3 weeks.
