Thigh liposuction for paraplegic?

October 2, 2023
Asked By:lpaigewilson in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I’m a 34 y/o female interested in inner thigh liposuction. I’ve been a paraplegic for 4 years & other than my spinal cord injury, I’m healthy. I exercise daily, i don’t smoke or drink, byt I have more fat in my thighs from not being able to move them Is it safe for me to get thigh liposuction because of blood clots? From what I’ve read an important part of recovery is moving around. I asked about a breast lift & the plastic surgeon is ok if I get anesthesiologist approval.
