In 2007 I weighed 320 lbs and got a DVT/PE during a c-section. I was negative for any clotting disorders and took comaudin 6 months. I have since lost 180lbs. I currently weigh 153lbs. I am wanting to get a tummy tuck and a breast lift /augmentation. My questions are : 1. Can I safely have both a tummy tuck and breast lift/augmentation done at the same time? 2. Would you suggest a blood thinner such as lovenox prophylacticly? I have been to consultations and I am getting conflicting answers.
Hello, I am 12 days post op after getting my tummy tuck. I have been pretty active, walking on the treadmill for 30 mins still day 5, dropping my son off at school and walking the dog. I drink lots of water and just finished my lovenox injections 2 days ago. While laying down, I felt a tingling in my right calf. It does not hurt, it just tingles at times. Could it be a blood clot?
I am a very healthy 50 year old breast cancer survivor. I am schelduled for a tummy tuck next month. I had mild lymph edema of my trunk following my mastectomy and implants which has completely resolved, should I take any special precautions with my tummy tuck? I will be stopping my tamoxifen and using lovenox after the surgery. All thoughts are appreciated!!
I'm having a full tuck with MR, lipo on flanks, and augmentation. My plastic surgon does lovenox for 7 days post op. My question is were do you recommend injecting? I did ask my plastic surgeon and he did say he wasnt sure if most people do it in there arms or legs. I do work in a hospital and I have been told my our pharmasist that the abdomin is usually the only place they recommend but he wasnt to familar with placement on the belly due to the trauma.. Where do you recommend to your patients?
