flag A UK woman nearly died after blood clots post-tummy tuck in Turkey, linked to early flying and lack of blood thinners.

flag A 36-year-old UK woman nearly died after developing life-threatening blood clots following a tummy tuck in Turkey, requiring two resuscitations and lifelong blood thinners. flag She attributes her condition to not receiving post-surgery blood thinners and flying too soon after the procedure, which increases clot risk. flag Health experts warn that long-haul travel, especially by plane, raises the risk of deep vein thrombosis due to prolonged sitting, dehydration, and poor circulation, particularly for taller or shorter travelers. flag Simple precautions like moving legs regularly, staying hydrated, avoiding sleeping pills, and wearing properly fitted compression stockings can help prevent clots.
