Hello, and thank you for this question. In our practice we have found that patients with many medical conditions that are properly managed and under control can undergo cosmetic procedures safely. We recommend that patients get a medical clearance for any outstanding issues. You can schedule a formal consultation and evaluation within experience board certified plastic surgeon and all of this can be discussed at that time. We currently utilize board certified anesthesiologist to manage our patients intraoperatively. We have not found an  increased risk in these patients managed appropriately.

Hypertension if it is well controlled does not preclude one from having cosmetic surgery.  Your plastic surgeon must consult with your primary physician if there are any concerns prior to any surgery.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

I think that the most important thing to do is to see your  medical doctor or cardiologist so they can  properly regulate your bloos pressure. You will more than likely need a preoperative clearance before surgery.
