I don't have any serious medical conditions, but can a high HR have an effect on BA? HR is 90-95 bpm, but can get over 100

Thank you for your question. As a surgeon, my primary concern is for the health and safety of my patients. When you see your surgeon for a consultation, they will discuss your medical history and any relevant concerns - be open and honest and let them know about your heart rate issues. In some cases, you may need to have a letter from a cardiologist (if you have one) or your primary care doctor. In this case, as in every case, you need to make sure that your surgeon is board certified and that your breast augmentation is performed in a hospital or fully accredited surgical facility. The more precautions you take, the better and safer the outcome of your surgery will be. Good luck!

Hi girlybabe, I do understand your concern. Before any breast augmentation procedure is performed, a pre-operative assessment is conducted. You will be assessed properly and cleared for surgery. You should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon and your anesthesiologist knows about your concerns. This way, a proper plan of action can be drawn up for a successful surgery. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

You will probably have a preop assessment as part of your operative plan and if there are any issues or you have concerns the anaesthetist is the best person to advise.
