Thank you for your question. You need to be in good health with a BMI of 30 or less and you will need to pass all lab tests and clearance successfully. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a boardcertified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possibletreatment options and what your expectations are.
Hello dear!In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker, your BMI needs to be 30 or less and hemoglobine levels higher than 12.5.I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.Dr. Luis mejia.
This will vary from office to office and in regard to your medical health and age. Most surgeons will do some blood work prior to surgery, but some surgeons do not if you are young and healthy. It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different.The surgeon you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a determination about what labs should be ordered, the need for EKG, the need for medical clearance, the need for anticoagulation, the appropriateness of the surgical intervention based upon the risk factors and current physique, etc.
Dear Renelle118,you should be healthy or if you have any medical conditions, they should be well controlled prior to any elective procedure. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
Hello and thank you for your question. The answer to your question depends on your age, BMI, overall healthy status, past medical history and medications among others. Typically, in younger individuals that are healthy otherwise, no special test is needed. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Thank you for your question. You will need a physical evaluation from your surgeon and blood work based on your medical history. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
For young healthy people without significant medical conditions don’t need much in regards to preparation.some doctors may order blood tests or other medical tests. For those who have medical conditions some surgeons will request medical clearance from the patient’s primary care doctor.The biggest tree procedure determinant is to find out if you’re a good candidate for the procedure so you know what kind of results you can expect even in the best of circumstances. Second that is to find the best provider because results vary substantially between different providers.I suggest having several in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with this procedure. avoid cutting corners by having virtual consultation. there is simply too much important information that needs to be exchanged.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
A healthy BMI is around 15 - 24, the recommended maximum being around 30. As long as you are cleared by your doctor and specialists, the next important thing is consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
Thank you for your question. The answer to this can vary with each office. However, most surgeons will require that you are in good health with no medical conditions that could affect your surgery or recovery. You may be required to do lab work prior to the procedure. If you are a smoker, it is extremely important to quit prior to surgery. It is also a good idea to be as close to your ideal weight as possible. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation.
You need to be in relatively good health to undergo a BBL:. If you have any medical issues you would need to be cleared for surgery by your medical doctor. Routine blood tests are generally performed as well as any other tests if necessary.
Thanks for your question. At my practice, the max Body Mass Index (BMI) limit for a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is 35. If you are planning on doing a tummy tuck and a BBL separately, it makes sense to do the tummy tuck first. Then 4-5 months later, a BBL can be performed. The reason being that if...
A low WBC count can be a sign of active infection or immune system problems. It is best to see your PCP for evaluation on the cause of your slightly low WBC count before undergoing elective plastic surgery such as a BBL.
Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Subutex is not a contraindication for BBL surgery. 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 30 or less. l recommend you to ma...
