Can I get Brazilian Butt Lift if I have GP6D deficiency?

Question

Hello , I want to have plastic Surgery. I do have GP6D DIFIENCY. I would like to know if its possible to have such a surgery with local or general anesthesia? And lets just say will I have options of other anesthesia to use during this process?

Dear Plucky405905,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You might need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. 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.

It’s important to not aggravate the condition and this can happen during stress, hypoxic states and during certain surgical procedures.

The first step is to talk to a hematologist if you have one then run it by him or her. Most likely you’ll need clearance from that person for the plastic surgeon.
If you don’t have a hematologist you’ll probably need to find someone to give you hematology clearance.

It would also be a good idea whether this is done with local anesthesia or general anesthesia to have an anesthesiologist on board to monitor you during the procedure but this may vary from each providers opinion and view.

You should also have a few in person consultations to make sure you’re a good candidate for the procedure in the first place.

It doesn’t make sense to undergo surgical procedures with increase medical risk for patients who are not good candidates for a procedure.

Best,
