Hyperthyroidism and BBL, if I get medication can I do the surgery, or postpone?

Question

Hi I have scheduled bbl for Feb 9th and it's Jan 20th. I just got my blood work and it I have a low tsh of 0.057 and I just did more thyroid test today and waiting on results. I'm worried If I won't be able to get my bbl because of that reason. I'm thinking maybe I will get on medication and I can still do the surgery? Or will I have to postpone it.

I would postpone the surgery to make sure everything is in line with your health. You are having purely elective cosmetic surgery - there is no need to risk your health if there is something that needs addressing.

Thank you for your question. my advice is to visit a Endocrinologist to check your T3, T4, TSH and make sure you are in optimal conditions before the procedure.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello @amberuii thank you for your question. A consultation is key to know for sure. Keep in mind that for any surgery you want to undergo, you need to be in good health, which reduces the risks in the operating room. I suggest you consult with several board certified plastic surgeons and have your surgery with the one you trust the most. Best wishes!

Dear amberuii,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, you should be healthy 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.

Please show your lab reports to the plastic surgeon you are consulting. Ideally before an elective surgery you should be physically healthy for a better recovery. Would suggest that you connect with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a thorough examination to get more information and recommendation.
