Is BBL safe if I have MTHFR and been cleared?

I would want to speak with the hematologist and have full lab panel to check your clotting cascade. This is purely elective cosmetic surgery so there is no need to risk your health.

Thank you for your question. From a professional point of view this is not an impediment to have the procedure done, however, your doctor might refer you to a specialist to make sure is under control.

Dear heather2540,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. As long as you have clearance, you might be a candidate for surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Safe is always a relative term

No surgery is 100% safe and certain situations carry more risk than others.

The purpose of having experts see you for specific medical conditions is the stratify the risk into some thing where you and the plastic surgeon can make and intelligent decision based acceptable or unacceptable risk.

Medicine can be an imperfect science and even if the chance of a complication is low when it happens it is 100%.

No question you are at higher risk for serious medical complications including fatal outcomes. The real question is how much of an increased risk does your medical condition impose and does that risk justify having the procedure.

Secondly how does each individual plastic surgeon feel about doing the procedure given that information.

Lastly how does the patient themselves feel about accepting risk. In the end you are the one that will have the complication not the surgeon.

Best,
