Can I Have a BBL if I Have Atrial Fibrillation?

Question

I am 26 yrs old and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in April. I get episodes several times a day. Doc put me on Flecanide and I stopped taking it. Took it for 2 weeks and have been off of it for at least 6 months. Then Doc put me on a baby aspirin a day but didn't do it either. I want a Brazilian butt lift and I'm worried about risks. Is it safe to have the surgery with my condition? Eventually I'll need a cather ablation, will the lipo affect anything for the procedure in the future? Thx

In your case, the main question is, not if you can be a good candidate for surgery, but how compliant you will be with your surgical instructions. Certainly, you need to have your atrial fibrillation under control before anybody will even consider doing surgery.

	
	Your behavior shows a complete lack of compliance with your health.  Having a surgical procedure is more than just going under the knife; it requires that you take  care of yourself after the surgery. The results depend on both factors. If you cannot take your medications, how are you going to follow a strict postoperative protocol for a successful Brazilian butt lift? A history of non-compliance will be a contraindication for surgery.

Hi there-

	Please re-examine your priorities... Your heart is your heart!

	Get your AF resolved once and for all, and THEN consider how you want your butt to look.

Wendell Perry, MD · Answer

Atrial fibrillation is a dangerous condition without surgery. When you have a fibrillation you may develop clots inside the heart that could become life-threatening. You're at risk now and you have to take care of this problem right away. Forget about surgery now it can be done once this dangerous condition is solved.

	Be safe and take care yourself.

Your real issue is getting treatment for the atrial fibrillation (AF). Since you stopped taking your recommended medications, you should discuss this with your doctor ASAP. Unless the AF is controlled, no surgeon will consider any surgery.

You are not a candidate for surgery.

	You still have aterial bibrilation at age 26, and have not followed your doctors treatment.

	You need to treat the aterial fibrilaation and be stable to be a good risk for surgery
