You may be able to have the procedure, but a cardiologist should clear you for the surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  Please visit my page on finding the right doctor at drnichter.com on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon. 
Candidates for Buttock Augmentation surgery desire an enhancement in the buttock area to offer a more balanced, defined or shapelier contour to the body. There appears to be two different groups of patients seeking the procedure. One group of patients is younger and has goals of transforming their bodies into more curvaceous figures, like popular Hollywood stars, J. Lo or Beyonce Knowles. The other group of patients is women that have aged and would like to restore a more youthful backside with buttock fullness to replace now sagging areas. Men have also been requesting buttock implants as well.

Hello, thank you for your question. It basically depends on the degree of prolapse. You must undergo a cardiac ecogram to assess your current state of prolapse, and a cardiologist would be the one who can adequately answer your question. Best of luck

Generally mitral valve prolapse is not an obstacle to surgery.  Nevertheless it is also rare to be advised against strenuous exercise.  Get your cardiologist to write a note to your liposuction surgeon.  This should  clear up any issues.  Many women have mitral valve prolapse and generally it is no big deal.  My Best,  Dr C
