Can I have a BBL if I have an ICD implant or pacemaker?

Cute183271Nov 10, 2021
I have an icd implant (defibrillator) I have an heart condition by the name of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy meaning I have an irregular heartbeats and arrhythmias. My cardiologist said that I could have the bbl surgery but it has to be in a hospital, but it’s been hard finding a surgeon to do it. This is making me more scared and making me question if the surgery would really be safe to do. I know my cardiologist has never steered me wrong but I admit that I’m very nervous.

No. Definitely not. Now, it's super reasonable to like a plus size look and to not be too perfect. You will be much better off asking for that. Saying you want to look exactly like someone else who has different everything than you is just not possible. The general look is possible though.
