If my EKG labs echo and stress test are normal, can I get a BBL?

If you are healthy and lab tests are normal pending a physical exam of your buttocks and potential donor sites you should be able to undergo a BBL. You should have the surgeon by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. Good luck.

Having a normal EKG and stress echo simply means that they were not able to find any heart abnormalities on those tests. That has little to do with postoperative complications or issues from cosmetic surgery which is usually not cardiac related.

If you’ve chosen a surgeon then I suggest discussing it with him or her your concerns. If you’ve not chosen a surgeon yet then have a few in person consultations at which time you can discuss your concerns. Those who are highly risk-averse should consider not having cosmetic surgery.

My best guess is that your fear is all emotional and has a little relative reasoning to it.

For example many people have no concerns about driving or riding in cars on a regular basis which is considered a fairly high-risk dangerous thing to do.

For those who have severe anxiety it may be worthwhile talking to a therapist or psychiatrist as well.

Best,
