Asked By:mandyfit in Dallas, TX

Hello, I am a 21 years old woman. And just got diagnosed with secondary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto thyroiditis. It's been now 3 months since I've been thinking about having a liposuction and a Brazilian but lift, so I went and got a blood work done, to know if everything was alright but sadly that's the result I got today... Can you please enlighten me on this? Can I still go under the procedure?
