Can a BBL and mommy makeover cause a TIA four weeks later?

October 8, 2018
Asked By:Kate2748 in Austin, TX

I had liposuction and BBL (along with mini tummy tuck and breast lift). Four weeks later, I exhibited all the signs of a transient ischemic attack (TIA). I was dizzy, had a headache, my whole body felt numb, and I was very, very confused. It came on suddenly. My husband took me to the emergency room and while I was in the examine room, it all suddenly cleared. Is it possible that this was caused by the fat transfer involved with BBL?
