Asked By:152732Fbe

Hi just two days ago I started my medication for hypothyroidism. I came to Colombia and did blood work and thyroids came out super at (12). I am planning to have my breast augmentation and lipo, but now i am scared. Should I fly back home and call off surgery, even though I’m on medication already? I am a 21 year old girl, 5’3, 145 lbs
