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

Answer: Thyroid disorder and plastic surgery Hello and thank you for the question. I cannot advise you on the specifics in terms of your lab values, however, if you have achieved normal thyroid function status by taking medication, it should be fine to undergo elective plastic surgery. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon and primary care/endocrinologist. Also, make sure your plastic surgeon is adequately trained and qualified.

Answer: Totally possible Hello, hypothyroidism, as long as it is controlled, and your physical condition allows it, are not contraindications for breast augmentation surgery. I suggest you consult a certified doctor and you will be able to perform the desired breast augmentation.
