Thanks for your question. Yes it is ok. If you use a cpap machine you will bring it with you for recovery.I have had main patients under BBL and other cosmetic procedures that have slept apnea and did great. But i would absolutely make sure you are working with a board certified Plastic surgeon and in a accredited surgery center.Good luck

You should be able to undergo surgery with general anesthesia even if you have mild sleep apnea. But I would suggest a medical clearance from your physician.

Greetings. In general, there should be no issues. However, it would be beneficial to have a clearance from your physician managing the sleep apnea treatment. The proper care preop and post-op treatment can be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
