Is it ok to have a bbl if you have stage 3 chronic kidney disease?

Question

BBL surgery and stage 3 chronic kidney kidney. Is it ok to have the bbl with this diagnosis?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Only your nephrologist can determine if the surgical risk associated with stage 3 chronic kidney disease would be recommended for elective surgery.  The extent of renal impairment and the use of dialysis, among other factors, also affect outcome and subsequent morbidity.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Any elective surgery, including cosmetic surgery,  should be carefully considered in patient with stage 3 kidney failure. A team consisting of internist, nephrologist and plastic surgeon should carefully evaluate the risks involved and inform you about risks and benefits.

Thank you for your question. It's important to talk to your nephrologist and get clearance. But as a general recommendation, being that plastic surgery is elective, you should be completely healthy before considering it.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear virtuesweet,
you should be healthy prior to any elective procedure. You will need to get a clearance from your nephrologist prior to 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.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your nephrologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

In my practice, I would have you get clearance from your nephrologist. If they feel it is safe, then I would move forward with your surgery. What I will say is patients experience a lot of swelling post op associated with the aggressive liposuction. This would likely be worse if your kidneys are not functioning properly. We usually use a strong "water" pill to help you get rid of the swelling, but this medication is hard on the kidneys, so with kidney disease this would not be safe.

this question it should go to your nephrologist.There are lots of variables but I would definitely not to risk worsening of kidney disease for a cosmetic procedure.If they think your kidneys are stable and will not take a hit from this procedure then conceivably it’s possible to move forward.Plastic surgeons are not kidney doctors so check with the ones who are more equipped to make the decision or steer you in the right directionBest, Mats Hagstrom, MD
