What Medical Clearance Do I Need to Get BBL?

         I have patients who come throughout the US and overseas.  I have several doctors who can provide clearance.  Another alternative is to have your general medical doctor provide the clearance.  I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Before getting any surgery all patients have to be cleared. Usually blood tests are done to make sure your hemoglobin levels are good ( this is one of the most important details when going for liposuction ), no diabetes , kidney or liver problems are present. No urinary infections or clotting issues.  

In our practice , we also requiere cardiologist clearance for all patients .  

If there is any health condition like asthma , diabetes , thyroid problems or any known previous issue , clearance for that matter is also requiered from a specialist .

It takes only a few hours to get all the tests done in our clinic .

It is much better to have and establish a physician patient relationship with a family physician who can be your doctor from now on. and knows you and your medical history. He/She can then clear you for surgery and be you physician when you need one.  Each surgeon requires a base line of history physical examination and complete blood work. more tests depending on the medical history, family history and age, like EKG, Chest x-ray.  Any abnormal findings needs to be treated and stabilized before the surgery. That is part of the safety measures for your own safety.
