Do you need a medical clearance to get a breast augmentation?

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Every surgeon's office has their own protocol for this, so be sure to ask your surgeon.  In my practice, we require labs and full medical clearance for all patients in order to ensure optimal patient safety prior to surgery.  I also have a board-certified MD anesthesiologist administering anesthesia.
Best wishes and good luck.

Not all of our patient require a medical clearance. Women who are young, in their 20s, and healthy do not require a medical clearance. We require medical clearance if you are taking blood pressure medication or have a medical condition that requires being controlled prior to surgery. I hope this helps.
