If my HGB A1C is 6.6 will I still be able to have a BBL?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If you are otherwise healthy and your blood sugars are well controlled, you may be a great candidate for the BBL.  Your risk may be slightly higher, but I have performed this procedure safely in well-controlled diabetics.

Dear zwillin2014,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question. Most likely you surgeon will request additional documentation regarding your condition and he medication that you use. If you are well controlled then you should be able to have the surgery done. Best of luck

Hi and welcome to our forum!
An A1c of 6.6 is at the high range of normal. 
I would recommend evaluation by your primary care physician or endocrinologist to be sure you are under the best possible control of your glucose level and to obtain clearance to proceed with surgery.
We perform BBL on diabetic patients under control without any difficulty.
Best wishes...

most likely you will still be able to have cosmetic surgery but your plastic surgeon may ask for medical Clarence and you should have your diabetes well-controlled before any elective surgery. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
