Is it safe to get a BBL with a VP shunt?

Question

Is it safe to get a BBL with a vp shunt. I have been cleared by my neurosurgeon and My General doctor

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It you are cleared by those two specialists, next step is to talk to a board certified plastic surgeon. The only danger my be injury of VP catheter which is placed in subcutaneous plane before entering abdomen. Good luck.

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.

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.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

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.
