HBP and Hypothyroidism - Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Hi, I'm 42 years old in good health minus my high blood pressure and hypothyroidism. My BP is well controlled and they just had to increase my Levothyroxine to 0.088mg because one of my levels was over 10,000. I can't remember which one, but once I'm restablized on my thyroid meds, would I be a good candidate for breast augmentation?

Health status and breast augmentation

These are common medical issues we see in the population. If they are well controlled, it should not be an issue with respect to your breast augmentation. Your plastic surgeon will decide if you need to be evaluated by an internal medicine specialist before your surgery for medicine clearance.

Medical condions and breast augmentation

These are relatively common disordiers in the breast augmentation population and I do not see any reason why you would not get an ohterwise great result. Ensure that your anestheisologiist is aware and discuss your plans to have surgery wiht your internist. You may alos want to obtain a mammogram prior to surgery.

Medical clearance before plastic surgery

Your medical condition is not a contraindication to breast augmentation. For safety reasons you should have a medical clearance by the doctor who manages your blood pressure and hypothyroidism prior to any elective surgery.

Only with a full written medical clearance would I undertake your surgery. This is for your protection. Best of luck from MIAMI DR. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Thanks for your service to Our Country, and Merry Christmas

There should be no contraindication to you having a breast augmentation when your thyroid disease and blood pressure are stable. You must be in pretty good shape if you are serving in our military in Afghanistan.

Breast augmentation and medical issues

If your blood pressure and thyroid issues are controlled, you should be able to undergo a breast augmentation safely. You would require some routine bloodwork prior to surgery, and your surgeon might request that your regular doctor evaluate and clear you prior to surgery. Good luck, /nsn.
