Can I get a BBL done and have intracranial pressure?

Question

I have been recently diagnosed with intercranial pressure. I currently take Lasix 40 mg. Will this be an issue or is it safe to have a BBL done ?

Hello, thank you for your question. Your board certified plastic surgeon will require a medical clearance from your specialist. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation.

Dear mirjess,
it depends on the cause of increased intracranial pressure. You will need to get a clearance from your neurologist in order to be a candidate for a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your neurologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Hi and welcome to our forum!Uncontrolled increased intracranial pressure can lead to death even without surgery. If controlled and stable, and if your internist  / neurologist feels it is safe to proceed, a cosmetic procedure can be considered. Medical clearance and recommendations are required.Best wishes...

The best answer that any plastic surgeon will have is to correspond with your neurosurgeon.  I feel if you are asymptomatic and only taking Lasix without symptoms, you are probably stable.  The phsycian who is monitoring your intracranial pressure would have to sign off on any elective procedure you contemplating.best of luck.Dr T

In regards to your intracranial pressure it’s not the plastic surgeon that will make the determination. Talk to your managing physician about having a BBL.uncontrolled intracranial pressure is a fatal condition. Obviously you’re not there but everyone wants to be on the same page and make sure that could not happen during or immediately after the procedure.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
