Help! Breast augmentation with Von Willebrand's disease? (Photo)

Question

So I have type one von williebrands disease, I have never been happy with the way I look and I desperately want to change that. I would like a BA and a lift. I have been to two different cosmetic surgeons in the UK and neither will operate due to me needing DDAVP before surgery and then not having the facility to accommodate this. I'm desperate any help would be brilliant.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

You need a lift and breast implants based on your photos. You will need DDAVP and you're better off finding a surgeon that can operate on you in a hospital. Reach out to your local medical society for referrals.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Based on your photograph, you seem to be a good candidate for breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Best to obtain "clearance" from your hematologist;  most patients are able to proceed safely.   You will need to continue your search for plastic surgeons who work out of fully accredited surgery facilities that will be able to obtain and utilize DDAVP for you. Best wishes.

Simply see a plastic surgeon who will provide you with the needed DDAVP. This is a common practice in the US and widely used.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

It is best to have surgery in a hospital where they are equipped for DDAVP.  I would not have the surgery in a free standing outpatient center.  Your surgeon will want clearance from your hematologist and his involvement with ordering the proper meds used in surgery.  I have had several patients with this disease over the last many years.  You can have a successful surgery if done safe while following the proper protocol.
