Can you have a BBL with stage 4 chronic kidney disease?

Dear Blu Blacc,
if you have stage 4 chronic kidney disease, then you shouldn't even consider any elective surgery. Your health should be your number one priority.

Hello, thank you for your question. Remember that this surgery is elective and you want to make sure you are not taking on any undue risk. You would need to talk to your kidney specialist and your pcp to get clearance for the surgery and make sure that everything has been done to prepare you for surgery.

Patients in stage for kidney disease cannot afford anything that will compromise their kidney function further.

As you know the next stage in kidney disease is for kidney failure at which point he will need to be on dialysis or get a kidney transplant in order to stay alive.

Surgery can stress the body including your kidneys.

Getting a BBL should not be your concern but rather living a very healthy lifestyle and doing everything you can to support and help your kidneys get better if possible.

Hopefully you can avoid getting on the transplant list.

This is just my opinion and I suppose there are plastic surgeons who is opinions might be different.

I think all plastic surgeons would want you to not take any risk of hurting your kidneys further.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
