I came to Miami to have a bbl done was clear by my cardiologist . Did a stress test & echo test pass it all I’m healthy & with no issues . The day of my surgery after being marked up waiting to go in the room . The anesthesiologist said he’s not comfortable doing anything due to the fact that I have wpw . Yet they made me get extra clearance because of it . What can I do & what should I do because I have no issues & I’m very healthy .
Answer: Is it better to do a BBL awake since I have WPW? Hello @carmel mella, thank you for you question. To perform a BBL while the patient is awake is not safe. That would require local anesthesia, which is very risky since local anesthesia has spikes that can be problematic at very high doses. Patient safety should always be the top priority. Performing a proper surgical plan will prevent you from having to deal with adverse outcomes later on. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: WPW and cosmetic surgery Hi and welcome to our forum!Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is not dangerous for most people. It may be manifested by episodic rapid pounding heartbeat, dizziness, and lightheadedness. If severe, however, treatment may be required, either with medical control or with surgical RF catheter ablation.Each physician has developed a protocol for evaluation and treatment based upon training and years of clinical experience. Every anesthesiologist's past experience plays a role in making a decision for or against performance of a cosmetic surgery procedure.We don't have any clinical information. It may be wise to determine the reasoning of the anesthesiologist in making his / her decision. If you "hit a brick wall" with that approach, consider a preoperative anesthesia consultation with another anesthesiologist before proceeding with rescheduling of the procedure.General anesthesia is the preferable method of anesthesia for BBL.Best wishes...
