Am I good candidate for a safe BBL surgery if I have MTHFR gene?

Question

I have never taking any medication nor havd any complications with my health!

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

Having an MTHFR gene variant does not automatically mean you cannot have a BBL, especially if you have never had blood clots, pregnancy losses, bleeding problems, or other medical complications. The key is whether that finding is clinically significant for you, such as elevated homocysteine levels or a personal or family history of clotting.

Before surgery, tell your plastic surgeon and anesthesia team exactly which MTHFR variant you have and share any lab work. They may want medical clearance, blood work, or in some cases input from a hematologist. For BBL specifically, safety also depends on your BMI, overall health, surgical time, VTE prevention plan, and a surgeon who follows modern BBL safety standards, including fat placement only in the subcutaneous layer.

If your evaluation is normal and your surgeon feels the risk is controlled, you may still be a candidate, but this should be cleared before booking or proceeding.

Dear Passionate330080,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

MTHFR gene polymorphisms (gene variants) are common worldwide. A small portion of mutations of the MTHFR gene may be weakly associated with health problems. If you are concerned, you should consult with your physician before the surgery.

I hope this helps,

Best of luck,

Your medical condition is one concern, and he certainly will have zero review in regards to this. Less likely they will require medical clearance. There are still general candidacy for the surgery that needs to be confirmed. I suggest having multiple in person consultations to get an assessment begin the process of adding plastic surgeons in here firsthand. How is surgeon feels about doing the procedure with your condition.
