Answer: BBL candidate Dear Plucky624489, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Is it safe to get a BBL with a VP shunt? You had already personally contacted me. I responded with needing full medical/neuro clearance. My anesthesia providers approved you with those written clearances. But your other issues must be resolved. Usual fee $6,500.

Answer: BBL with shunt It is essential that you have both the neurosurgeon and your GP clearing you for the procedure. Depending on the areas suctioned, your plastic surgeon should acquaint themselves with where the tubing is located for the VP shunt to empty into the abdomen. You must make sure not to damage it.
