Is It Possible to Have Tummy Tuck for a Patient with DVT?

lucylee
I would like to have a tummy tuck after having two children. But, after the second birth I had a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in my left pelvic area which has meant the affected vein no longer has blood flow through it. This happened just over 19 months ago. Would surgery be a no-no with this medical history?
