John Mesa, MD · Answer

A Brazillian Butt Lift requires liposuction of the trunk in order to to harvest fat to be used in the gluteal augmentation portion of the procedure. Liposuction usually requires the administration of epinephrine, a drug that decreases the bleeding during liposuction. Epinephrine, does increase the hear rate of patients. Therefore, patients with SVT,  Supra Ventricular Tachycardia, may have worsening of the arrhythmia during surgery.Patients with STV may undergo Brazilian butt lift if they have been optimized and cleared by their primary cardiologist.

You will need to get cardiac clearance prior to undergoing the procedure.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

You need to get worked up by your cardiologist first to determine the cause and to medically clear you for the procedure if possible.
