I have high blood pressure and want to get chin liposuction and buccal fat removal. Will I have any complications?

Question

I have high blood pressure and taking medication. I'm interested in chin liposuction and buccal fat removal are there any complications?

Evan Ransom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question. Blood pressure management is important after face and neck surgery, including liposuction. Increased blood pressure can lead to an increased risk of bleeding under the skin or persistent fluid collection (seroma) during healing. Keeping your pressure in a normal range is important for achieving the results you're looking for. A visit with your primary doctor to make sure your medication is working well would be prudent before proceeding.

Dear yyy23,
your blood pressure should be well controlled prior to any elective procedure. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If your blood pressure is well-controlled then you should be fine. If your blood pressure is not controlled then your first priority should be getting that properly managed. For that please seek assistance from your primary care doctor.

Best,
