What labs and tests do I need for a BBL?

Question

I’m 19, 5’2. I can’t get ahold of my coordinator to find out what I need to be tested for before I have my surgery. What should I get done, blood work and everything wise?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question i its recommended get a consultation with a plastic surgeon to evaluate you and discuss all about theme.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question...Every surgeon has different pre-op protocols. Generally speaking, a complete blood count is usually done + any other tests related to a patient's medical history. I suggest speaking to your surgeon if you are still concerned. You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Most surgeons will do some blood work prior to surgery, but some surgeons do not.  It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different.
In some patients who are young and healthy, bloodwork may not be particularly valuable.  In older patients with medical problems or history of medical problems, it is reasonable to obtain these results.The surgeon you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a determination about what labs should be ordered, the need for EKG, the need for medical clearance, the need for anticoagulation, the appropriateness of the surgical intervention based upon the risk factors and current physique, etc.

Dear renessessy1,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank
  you for your question . You need your blood work, EKG, and fill out your medical questionnaire Please
  put your front, side pictures. These pictures are easier to see if they are
  taking by someone else not close to the camera of the area you are interested
  only to give you a better answer.Many
  surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send
  us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also
  offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most
  accurate quote.Choose a board
  certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has
  privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his
  credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk,
  talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

Steven Schuster, MD, FACS · Answer

While every doctor is different and requires their own labs, I can tell you what we require before surgery, and the labs are included in the costs.  Bloodwork with a coagulation study (PT an PTT), a pregnancy test along with a urine pregnancy test the day of surgery, blood chemistries and hemoglobin/hematocrit.  In anyone over 50 we require a medical clearance by their internist and whatever other tests he or she may want.  I'm sure your doctor will arrange for the needed tests and by all means make sure he or she is a board certified plastic surgeon - accept nothing less.  Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.

Hi, and thank you for the question
  
The routine routine analyzes before a surgical procedure include complete blood count, urine culture, typing, viral tests, cardiology evaluation, etc. All of them  are needed to see if you are clear for surgery. Make sure to seek the attention of a certified plastic surgeon, you should have a great result and a normal life. So feel free to contact us for further evaluation.   
  
Thank you again and have a great day
