Can you have liposuction if you take blood pressure medication?

Thank you for your question! Yes it is possible to have surgery if you are on blood pressure medication, as long as your blood pressure is controlled and you are cleared for surgery from your primary care provider. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who can gather your medical history information and create a personalized plan for you. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for the question. As long as your blood pressure is controlled, there should not be any objection to get liposuction. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon

Hi, thank you for your question. Yes, if you are otherwise in good health, and your blood pressure is well-controlled on your medication, you can most likely have liposuction on your blood pressure medication. With aesthetic surgery, safety has to of course always come first. Most board certified plastic surgeons will require any patient with ongoing medical problems to obtain medical clearance prior to having aesthetic surgery.

The short answer is: yes. The more complete answer is: it depends. If blood pressure is under control with medications, then in general doing a surgical procedure is safe. Patients may need to get cleared by their PCP or cardiologist prior to the procedure if being done under general anesthesia. The exact medications used also makes a difference. Some medications for blood pressure can cause electrolyte disturbances, so this may need to be checked prior to surgery. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to tell you if the procedure is safe given the past medical history, and any modifications that may need to be made. 

Blood pressure that is under control is no problem when doing liposuction under tum. local.  So many patients take bp meds and they do just fine.
