Can I get a BBL with myocarditis?

Question

I had an autoimmune response over a year ago and it caused heart inflammation. I have had a normal heart rate, normal EKGs and have had no arrhythmias since I was diagnosed and treated. I am in my early 30s and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. Is it possible for me to get a BBL? Will a doctor reject my request? Is this a deal breaker for elective procedures?

You'd want to get a cardiology clearance.  They may need to run some tests on your heart to make sure you were OK for surgery

I’m guessing a lot of plastic surgeons will be reluctant to consider doing cosmetic surgery on someone with myocarditis.
Myocarditis can be fatal and can lead to severe, cardiac compromise.
In the end, it depends on your level of disease, obtaining cardiology clearance, and if a plastic surgeon is willing to consider the procedure.
Each provider will have their own criteria so the only way to find out is to ask individual providers.
There is no yes or no answer to your question.
