Is breast reduction and liposuction safe for hyperthyroid or hypothyroid patients?

February 27, 2018
Asked By:successfulandbody in Miami, FL

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in July 2016. As of lately, I've really been wanting a breast reduction and liposuction on my stomach. Would this be safe for me considering my condition? Or should I get my thyroid removed first and then consider the surgery?
