8.9 total protein lab result - will this affect my BBL surgery?

Hello @nikkitay18, thank you for your question. Every surgeon has their own established preoperative tests and criteria for determining whether a patient is a suitable candidate for a particular procedure. It's crucial to discuss your lab results with your plastic surgeon, He or she will be able to evaluate your overall health and determine if your total protein level might affect your candidacy for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or if any additional tests or treatments are necessary before proceeding with the surgery.

It is important to discuss your lab results with your board certified plastic surgeon. She/He is the one that will advise you if it is safe to proceed with the surgery as planned. Your surgeon has had the benefit of meeting with you and has discussed your medical history.

Thanks for your question,
I will recommend you to check with your PCP and plastic surgeon about it before having the procedure done, the level of certain proteins in the blood can increase when the body is fighting an infection or some other inflammation, make sure to go to your surgery with optimal results to about any type of complications during and after your procedure. Plastic surgery is not an emergency surgery you can always reschedule and take care of your health first!
Good luck!
