Is tummy tuck & lipo safe for me after blood clot 7 years ago?

Lalak8
I had a blood clot roughly 7 years ago after having a D&C. After blood work was performed it was ruled that it occurred from not taking the necessary precautions (getting on a 6 hour car ride immediately after that I slept through). I was placed on blood thinners for about a year. Moving forward I would really like a tummy tuck with lipo. Is this possible and safe? I’ve been having a problem finding drs .
