Blood clots???

i hardly read news papers but twice in the past month ive seen stories of 2 women who have died from boob jobs coz of blood clots, alotho one was in america and is in 2days paper and another was a brit who went abroad to get it..tht was a few weeks ago, i kno its rare but it really puts the shitters up me!!!!!!!!!! ive got 2 boys who r my world and the thot of leaving them coz of boobs its jst ridicoulous, is it really worth it?

Any1 kno why tht happens, i kno its sumthin to do with the anestetic but anythin else that can make u prone to them…ive got really bad circulation, my feet go BLUE frequently and ive got my para pants on now thnking its gona be me lol xx

my dads just been reading it to me, the risks are low, and im sure we will be fine :)just makes you think again eh?x xxx

i think the same, my boobs arnt that bad but wanted them done for years.. the thought of me leaving my kids without a mummy does my hesd in, its ridiculous.. i asked my surgeon what was the chances of dying and he said 1 in 10 billion …xxx

glad im not the only one whos put off a bit by this! its jst so scary coz it seems out of every1s hands..bit reasuring to know its really rare tho xx

I am the same 2 kids and this keeps putting me off for the same reasons, but 1 in 10 billion makes me feel better lol. Is that why they make you wear them stockings, for blood clots…xxxx

I’m the same I’ve been thinking about a BA since having my daughter and I now have a son as well, I’ve got my first ever consultation on Friday and told my mum, she said I’m stupid to risk my life when I have two kids when there’s nothing wrong with my boobs there just a small 34 b no loose skin, the only thing putting me off is the anestetic and blood clots x

i have this thought at the back of my mind too hun, but i just keep thinking that we all do way more riskier things in life everyday, so so many more people die in car accidents etc that having an op, and none of us really care about getting in cars or anything! it really scares me too, but i just keep thinking in this way, i think it’s so easy to get worked up about things we read in the paper, but because it is so so rare we take way more notice when a story about it does come up! i know this probably doesn’t really help your nerves, but seems to be keeping me more calm, have got my op on 17th Feb! xx

Hi hun, I had a blood clot in my arm a few years back was quite serious and my surgeon explained to me I was a higher risk than others for getting another 1 but I have been fine since my BA. Just keep motivated afterwards like walking around gently to keep circulation going plus the stockings and you will be fine if I am sure you will be and as you can imagine I was terrified like you hope this helps xx

Thankyou it does put my mind at ease especially when you know most people think this way lol I just look at my kids and keep thinking is it worth it?? Consultation on Friday so I’ll probs feel a lot better after getting the answers to my list of questions x

they will make you feel loads better when you have all your answers! i think pretty much everyone has the same worries, you will be absolutely fine! hope your consultation goes well hun xx

*Wear your TED stockings for about 2-3 days (or longer if you can put up with them!). *Try to keep as mobile as possible. *When your in bed remember to do your feet excersises (moving your feet up and down and around in circular motion). *Don’t fly long haul for about 6 weeks. *Don’t fly short haul for about 2 weeks.

If you experience pain around your calf area, redness around your calf area, if the area feels hotter than the rest of your body, it might look a bit swollen. If your having shortness of breath or difficulty with your breathing, you should contact your nurse immediately or go to a+e to be checked out! It’s is rare with a BA to experience blood clots, but as with any surgery that causes you to be immobile for a little while, this is a possibility.

Hope that helps!

This scares me2 my mum suffers from DVT and takes warfrin daily… this is the only thing that worries me about having the op!! nice 2 see that im not the only 1 worried about clots…xx
