Can I get a BBL with a protein s deficiency?

Question

Ryan Rebowe, MD · Answer

While this is technically possible it is very risky. You will require blood thinner management during and after surgery and this Protein S deficiency will need to be considered in light of all of your other risk factors. I would absolutely ensure that you are receiving care from a board certified plastic surgeon who can manage your risk appropriately around the time of surgery.

Karl William Schwarz, MD · Answer

I would not. You have an increased risk of forming a blood clot with that diagnosis and I would not risk having a pulmonary embolism for an elective operation. Now, if you have to have surgery because you have a cancer than of course you need to and take the extra precautions necessary to reduce your risk of a PE but for elective surgery we try to keep risk to a minimum.

Hello @jennysaucedo10, thank you for your question. It is absolutely essential that you obtain clearance from your primer care doctor. Many conditions allow surgical procedures to be performed. However, an assessment appointment and medical examination are required to determine whether they can be performed. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear jennysaucedo10,
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.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Dear Jenny,
The protein S deficiency makes you more susceptible to forming blood clots.  A consultation with your hematologist along with their input will decide if it is indeed safe to proceed with surgery.  They will make recommendations for using Lovenox or other anticoagulation therapy both pre and post-op.
Best wishes,
Dr. Taranow
