I have neurofibromatosis type 1. Does this limit my chances of having a BBL done?

Question

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

To my knowledge there is no associated side affects and risks with any kind of surgery in patients with neurofibromatosis. I believe that you are a good candidate for BBL and your risks are within normal range for this procedure. Discuss this issue with your surgeon before surgery as well. Good luck.

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.
I am not aware of any problems with Liposuction or BBL in patients with neurofibromatosis. You should, however, discuss this with your Internist as well as your Plastic Surgeon. You appear to be a good candidate for BBL. All The Best !

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Though neurofibromas are worrisome, benign growths affecting nerve fibers anywhere on the body, they are more of a nuisance than a health threat. Your PS will likely request approval from the specialist who treats your neurofibromatosis type 1 before scheduling the BBL.

Dear ABNM242,as long as you get a clearance from your doctor, you might 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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks for writing,Based on your history and the history of neurofibromas (which can be vascular), I would recommend medical as well as neurological clearance. I do have to wonder if the trauma to the tissues for the liposuction as well as the BBL can make the neurofibromas and it’s associated problems worse. Good Luck Stephen M.
