Hello CHANG77,It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Plastic surgeons have different pre-operative requirements, customized for every patient to achieve the best results. I typically recommend my patients obtaining a medical clearance from their primary care physician (or cardiologist for age >45) prior to Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. Most likely, your plastic surgeon can refer you to a cardiologist. Safety is of utmost importance when undergoing a BBL procedure. Depending on your lab tests outcome, your plastic surgeon will determine whether the procedure can be performed. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.
