Can you advise on my risk of having a relapse for GBS if I get a BBL?

Question

I recently had Guillain Barre Syndrome about 2 years ago but I healed and i wanted to know if it was safe for me to undergo cosmetic surgery such as a BBL or Breast augmentation. I wanted to know my risk or if you had any patients that had GBS and underwent surgery after.

Dear juliacandiff,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to 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.

Plastic Surgeons are typically not experts on GBS.  Ask the doctor who was taking care of you.  GBS is pretty serious with a significant number of fatalities.  Do you really need a bbl?
