Bbl 2 years after pulmonary embolism - am I able to go under?

Dear Ltiffany,
Once you've had a history of PE, provoked or unprovoked, you are at higher risk for future clotting events in the face of a surgical procedure. This would call for you to be anticoagulated for a BBL. Only you can decide if a larger buttocks is worth the risk. Good luck!

Hello @Ltiffanylua2, thank you for your question. Yes, you can go under surgery two years after suffering from a pulmonary embolism. However, this is only if all of your lab tests are normal and if you have been cleared by your primary care physician. It is still recommended that you discuss the specifics of the surgery with both your doctor and surgeon prior to undergoing any procedure in order to ensure that everything will be done safely. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Ltiffanylua2,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You would 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.
