Would Having the Brazilian Buttlift Be Too Risky if You Have High Blood Pressure?

I have done a lot of research on the procedure and I'm also aware of the complications and some deaths that have been associated with it. I'm not comfortable in my skin, I hate to undress in front of myself. Please give me your honest advice. My health conditions are: high blood pressure,hypothyroidism and my heart is slightly enlarged. I have attached a pic, although I want a butt lift...having lipo is most important.
