The Dangers of Thrombosis (DVT) after Surgery

Plastic Surgery or any surgery for that matter could be a lethal combination with long distance travel. According to The Coalition to Prevent DVT approximately 300,000 die annually of Pulmonary Embolism – a complicated form of DVT where the blood clot breaks loose and moves into the lungs, blocking the circulation to the vital organs. This is a life-threatening condition that is linked as one of the dangers of getting cosmetic surgeries offshore.

Thrombus simply means blood clot. Blood clot on deep veins is not dangerous in itself. It is when that piece of clot breaks off and travels downstream to the heart and into the pulmonary circulation system and positions in the lungs. Newly operated travelers are more at risk.

So how soon should you fly after surgery? Mark Gendreau, MD, of Tufts University School of Medicine advises patients to wait 10 to 14 days before flying if you’ve had an orthopedic, chest, abdominal, neurological, or ear, nose, and throat procedure. During the lengthy flight, stay hydrated by drinking fluids – water, please – and avoiding diuretic fluids like caffeine or alcohol. Be an opportunist and stretch your legs whenever you can. Wear compression stockings too!

This is just an anecdote of how kids notice details in the life of their beloved. It took place one dinner time and the father was the last one to find his place in the table. To the his family’s amazement, he didn’t look like the man that they were dining with in the last six months. The two kids blurted out, DADDY! what happened to your hair and the hair in your face? At this point, you would think he had gone to hairloss treatments but that is not the case though. He just decided to get rid of his excessive growth up there and time to look younger again to please his favorite much younger crowd. He had his hair grown after 3 months stint in South America, mirroring himself as one of the revolutionary leader in the latin part of this world…just kidding!
