I have surgery scheduled in 4 weeks for a BBL. but I got covid last week. My quarantine is up on 9/30 and my surgery date is 11/4…. I read that if you have covid within 7 weeks of surgery then your chances of a blood clot increases to 70% as well as pulmonary problems. Is it safe for me to have a BBL on 11/4 still?

Answer: Covid positive with upcoming BBL I think the answer to your question will be highly dependent on the symptomatology of the Covid illness and how each plastic surgeon feels about it. For that reason I suggest you contact your plastic surgeon and fill them in regarding your medical history ASAP. That way you’ll get your answer from the person whose opinion matters. There’s a big difference on doing elective surgery and someone who is Covid positive with no symptoms versus someone who got really sick and has chronic Covid symptoms months after the procedure. Best of luck with your upcoming procedure whether it stays on schedule or it gets rescheduled. Mats Hagstrom MD
