So this is an off question but I broke my foot 3 months ago and I'm recovering. Would it be possible to get tuberous breasts correction now since I have the time off or would I be prone to getting an infection due to healing?

Answer: Surgery during rehab The risks of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) three months after ankle surgery should be modest, and this could be a good opportunity for you to pursue elective surgery. Your surgeon may take additional precautions such as a venous doppler to check for an existing deep vein thrombosis, and may be more inclined to use anticoagulants post-operatively if you have other risk factors for abnormal clotting.

Answer: Surgery timing. As long as you are in good health, you should be able to safely undergo a procedure to correct tuberous breasts. Decreased mobilization from your broken foot can possibly place you at a higher risk of blood clots, so this definitely needs to be taken into consideration. Seek a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the situation. Make sure he or she is aware of the activity limitations related to your foot. Best wishes to you!
