BBL, butt implants and blood clots: how likely are they for a healthy individual?

October 7, 2020
Asked By:Erb1989 in UK

Hi, I have researched a lot about fat embolism but I am aware of people who have passed away due to blood clots after surgery and am now very scared. I cannot find much information on the rates of blood clots/likelihood of them like I can for fat embolism. I am a healthy 31 y old who exercises, does not drink alcohol, and plans to quit vaping 2 months before my surgery. How likely am I to get a blood clot? Are they entirely preventable? Or is it luck of the draw who gets one and who doesn't??
