Abstract
Like other surgical patients, those undergoing elective aesthetic surgery are at risk for deep vein thrombosis. The author discusses ways to reduce this risk, such as limiting the number of procedures performed in the same operative session, using mechanical devices and pharmacologic agents, and doing careful postoperative assessment.Keywords
