What lab work needs to be done for a BBL?

Question

What All lab works do they ask in order to get the BBL done? I would love to know all that information before setting sx date? I would hate travel so far and pay for hotels and flights etc. Only to find out all my lab works aren’t all done or to the expectations of My Dr? Thank you if anyone can help me with this I’d really appreciate it.

Most surgeons will do some blood work prior to surgery, but some surgeons do not.  It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different.The surgeon you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a determination about what labs should be ordered, the need for EKG, the need for medical clearance, the need for anticoagulation, the appropriateness of the surgical intervention based upon the risk factors and current physique, etc.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..Based on your question, the most important thing so that you can schedule surgery is a complete blood count, chemistry, bleeding, protombia, coagulation time, hemoglobin and hematocrit the most important, if you have a hemoglobin above 12 ml of mercury, and All laboratories within normal ranges may be suitable for surgery.but the ideal is to consult in person with your certified plastic surgeon who can clarify your doubts.

Hello kaylove637, 
I appreciate your questions! Plastic surgeons have different pre-operative protocols, customized for every patient, to properly prepare for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery and achieve the best results. The following laboratory tests are typically requests for BBL patients: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Serum Creatinine, Glycemia, Pregnancy Test, Electrocardiogram, Chest X-rays and HIV testing. Tests must be done on an empty stomach. Consult with your plastic surgeon since he/she may order lab tests relevant to your case. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Every surgeon's preoperative protocol is different for clearances.  It is best that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss their requirements.  Your surgeon will take into consideration your medical history, family medical history, as well as your height and weight to determine what labs need to be done prior to an elective surgery.  Best of luck!
