Back in November 2015 I developed a pulmonary embolism in my right lung due my birth control pills..I was coumarin for awhile but the blood clot had gotten so big it wasn't dissolving..so i had to get surgery may 2016 and now im currently on xarelto and may be my entire life..are my chances of getting a tummy tuck over?

Answer: Tummy tuck? Thanks for your inquiry. You would need clearance from your hematology and close supervision with your plastic surgeon. The risks are higher and you need to really be certain the benefits outweigh the risks, good luck.

Answer: I'm currently on Xarelto, would I still be able to get a tummy tuck? It would not be wise to do a tummy tuck while on a blood thinner. You need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon and hematologist once you are off blood thinners to assess your risk for surgery. In some cases, a mini-tummy tuck can be done under local anesthetic with minimal risk.
