I am 21 years old and have recovered from severe aplastic anemia. Would I be able to still get a BA?

If your medical doctor clears you for elective surgery, then you should be able to have surgery and do well.

Hello, thank you for your question. Surgery can be risky for people with aplastic anemia as it can lead to serious bleeding and the risk for serious infections. You will need a medical clearance from your hematologist; after that I recommend that you schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
