Can I still have a BBL done with blood pressure of 124/89?

A blood pressure of 124/89 is not usually an emergency, but the lower number is borderline/high and, if it is repeated, may fall into stage 1 hypertension. One reading alone does not decide whether you can have a BBL. Your surgeon and anesthesia team need to consider repeated blood pressure readings, your medical history, medications, BMI, labs, smoking status, and overall cardiac and clotting risk.

For an elective procedure like a BBL, blood pressure should be stable and optimized before surgery. Take several readings at rest or keep a home blood pressure log and review it with your primary doctor and surgical team. If your pressure is higher on the day of surgery or is not well controlled, surgery may be postponed for safety. This number does not automatically mean you can never have a BBL, but it does mean you should be medically cleared and optimized before proceeding.

Plastic surgery, while offering remarkable transformations, carries inherent potential risks that must not be underestimated. A comprehensive preoperative workup is of utmost importance. By conducting a proper preoperative assessment, the surgeon can identify potential risk factors and take necessary precautions to minimize complications, ensuring the highest level of patient safety and achieving the best possible results.
In my practice, all my patients get: - Full set of labs including tox screen. - Chest x-ray- EKG- Medical clearance. - Specialist clearance (if they are being treated for a chronic condition). - Nicotine and drug test.

Dear Pana1989, Thanks for sharing your concern, as any surgery you should have a previous authorization from the anesthesia team and of course a cardiologist, with that boold pressure I do not see any problem to go on with your procedure. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Thank you for your question. To be a good candidate for the procedures you want, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.​

Kind Regards,

Hello @pana1989, thank you for your question. Blood pressure is an important factor in determining the safety and success of any aesthetic procedure. Your blood pressure is within normal limits. However, I recommend consulting closely with your specialist and following his or her recommendations regarding presurgical tests. Your specialist will be able to provide advice tailored specifically for you based on different factors such as age, general health condition, and the extent of surgery. Best wishes!

Dear pana1989,
124/89 mmHg is normal blood pressure so it won't be a contraindication for 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.

As for any major surgery, you should be cleared for general anesthesia by your PCP. I do not see the reason why you should not have BBL with above BP. Hope this helps.

A blood pressure of 124/89 is not that high... This can be caused by anxiety when taking the blood pressure in the office, something ingested that can transiently increase your blood pressure, hypertension, or a number of other factors. It's not just blood pressure, but a variety of measures that are evaluated to determine patient safety, including age, weight, other medical problems, etc... A medical clearance with a primary care provider would ensure that you are safe and optimized before any procedure.

That’s what pressure it’s pretty close to ideal and it’s probably very typical. I don’t think your blood pressure will be an issue for having elective cosmetic surgery. I suggest you discuss your diastolic blood pressure with your primary care doctor.

Hi. That's a great blood pressure. I don't see any reason why this would cause any problems. Even in patients with some hypertension (140/90), the surgery can be done.
