Hello, I am a 21 years old woman. And just got diagnosed with secondary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto thyroiditis. It's been now 3 months since I've been thinking about having a liposuction and a Brazilian but lift, so I went and got a blood work done, to know if everything was alright but sadly that's the result I got today... Can you please enlighten me on this? Can I still go under the procedure?

Answer: Liposuction with recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. Fortunately this is an extremely common - and easily managed disorder. With daily medication and periodic monitoring of blood levels, your thyroid function can be essentially restored to normal. I suggest waiting until your levels have been appropriately controlled with your medicated as instructed by your primary care physician. At that point, you would absolutely be a candidate for surgery! Obviously it is important to discuss this with your surgeon as well as primary care physician.

Answer: Hashimoto thyroiditis/secondary hypothyroidism and liposuction Thank you for the question. As long as your thyroid disease is being managed appropriately, keeping your thyroid hormone levels within normal range, you will remain a good surgical candidate. I would also ask for a surgical clearance from your endocrinologist.
