When getting a BBL are x rays taken of just the chest area or the entire body before surgery?

     As part of medical clearance, chest x-ray may be indicated for certain patients.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I do not customarily get x-rays prior to performing a BBL. What are you doctor's reasons for the studies?

Hello dear!!

Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
The X ray is only taken on the chest to evaluate your heart and lungs. Also, a chest X-ray can show something that looks to be abnormal.I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.

Good luck :)
