As as safe as can be: You should weight pros and cons of this procedure and risks associated with your condition with your surgeon and Endocrinologist.

Factor V?: Factor V defieciency or Factor V Leiden? If you have for Factor V Leiden there increased risk of blood clot development. This may not affect liposuction but you should let your cosmetic surgeon know.
