Question

My BBL procedure is schedule for next month and sometimes during the day and night I have a problem for breathing and I wanted to find out if its ok for me to do my procedure. It was like this when I gave c-section with my daughter.

If you have breathing issues prior to surgery, such as sleep apnea, the only ones who can you for surgery are your medical doctor, anesthesiologist, and plastic surgeon.  Speak with your plastic surgeon first about your concerns and he or she can direct you from there.Best of luck!

It's a very good question and you are right to be concerned. I would address these concerns with your plastic surgeon and your primary care physician. They will need to determine the cause of the breathing issues prior to proceeding with any surgery.

Cosmetic plastic surgery is elective. It can be postponed until your health is optimized. Priority should be on optimizing your health before focusing on altering your appearance with surgery. You should have your health/breathing issue evaluated by your physician.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

If you have breathing issues, this should be clarified so that one can make sure that you do not have sleep apnea.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.I recommend you to let it know to your plastic surgeon and to make an appointment with a pneumologist to have a good evaluation and his/her approval to get the surgery done.Good luck and get well.
