Hyperthyroidism and general anesthesia?

Hello, I'm curious to see what the risks are of having surgery (BBL) while being hyper thyroid. I'm waiting on lab results from my doctor, but in the mean time I've heard things about thyroid storm etc... What are the possible complications??

Thank you for your question. Your thyroid must be under control before undergoing any cosmetic surgery. Typically, the surgeon will conduct blood tests to make sure you are in good health. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs at least 100 of these procedures per year. Best Wishes, Dr. Newall
