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

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.
