Answer: Is it safe to have the BBL surgery with moderate kidney disease? Thank you for your questions. Remember that this surgery is elective and you want to make sure you are not taking on any undue risk. You would need to talk with both your kidney specialist and your primary doctor to get clearance for the surgery and make sure that everything has been done to prepare you for surgery. They might also want to plan some additional lab work around surgery to follow you. And you also need to find a plastic surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to make sure that you are being as safe as possible! This procedure now has a quoted death rate of 1 in 3,000 patients and you need to do your research before you proceed.Hope this helps!Dallas R.
