I went and got a protein s panel done and my doctor was kind of confusing... 1. my protein s activity is 39 out of range. normal is (60-140) 2. my protein s free is 29 out of range. normal is 64-131 3. my protein s antigen is 61 out of range. normal is 70-140 Does this mean i have a protein s deficiency because my levels are out or range? If so is it still safe to get a tummy tuck and breast augmentaion done?
Answer: Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation With Protein S Deficiency?
Thank you for the question.
You will be best off having a full evaluation by a well experienced hematologist. He/she will evaluate your past medical history ( especially in regards to bleeding/clotting) and laboratory studies. The hematologist would be able to provide a recommendation to you and your plastic surgery in regards to the feasibility/safety of undergoing the planned procedures. Perioperative medical management may also be recommended by your hematologist.
Best wishes.

Answer: Mommy makeover with Protein S deficiency I would start with a consultation to a hematologist. In our surgery center, all clotting disorders get a plan from the hematologist for surgery in writing prior to surgery. There likely will be some additional testing that will help determine if you are safe to proceed.

Answer: Possible with clearance and right precautions
You need to obtain clearance from your hematologist and make sure your plastic surgeon follows the recommendations. This usually requires compression stocking before during and after surgery. Injections of Lovenox an anticoagulant may also be suggested around your procedure.
Make sure you understand all the additional rails with this condition before proceeding! Good luck!

Answer: Abdominoplasty and breast augmentation with clotting disorder You will need a comprehensive work up and recomendation by a hemotologist and then proceed with surgery. They will likely recommend lovenox injections before and after surgery. This does increase your chances of bruising and likely not increase bleeing tendency. I have performed these procedures in my practice with the before mentioned criteria. Best of luck.

Answer: Abnormal Labs
Abdominoplasty and breast augmentation are both elective procedures and it is important that a prosepective patient be in the best possible health prior to undergoing surgery. I would recommend seeing a hematologist who would be in the best position to evaluate your lab results and help you determine how best to proceed in conjunction with your Plastic Surgeon
