If you have high blood pressure can you get a tummy tuck and a bbl?

Question

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

You would need to be cleared for elective surgery by your primary care doctor and your blood pressure would need to be under control, prior to undergoing elective surgery.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  Yes, it is possible to have a tummy tuck if you have high blood pressure.  The main issue is to make sure that your blood pressure is well controlled and stable on your medication.  If you have a blood pressure spike after surgery, it could lead to bleeding and a hematoma, requiring another procedure.  If there is any a question, your surgeon may have you get a preoperative medical evaluation by your family doctor.Good luck.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

The answer to your question could only be determined following a pre assessment. it all depends on what your BP is, whether it is controlled on meds etc.Then after this pre assessment your PS can run through the pros and cons of proceeding with you.

Thanks for your question. Any patient that goes through a surgery needs to do pre op exams, this exams also includ a cardiology consultation. If your blood pressure is well controlled and you are using your medecine regularly it should not be a problem. Regard.
