It was incidentally found after going for an internal ultrasound due to severe period cramps. i wanted to get a BBL this year is It not safe to do so with condition ? I am otherwise healthy with some fibroids causing me more than normal cramping.

Dear pmurray9,
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.

It does not appear that FNH increases your surgical risk for having a BBL procedure. You must discuss this with your surgeon but the articles I just reviewed did not discuss any precautions. 
Best wishes

This is not an uncommon condition and for most people it doesn’t cause any symptoms.

If it isn’t causing problems for you then you should be fine to have a BBL. You may need to get clearance from a hepatologist, internal medicine doctor or gastroenterologist

Best,
