Thank you for your question. From a professional point of view this is not an impediment to have the procedure done, however, your doctor might refer you to a specialist to make sure is under control.

Respectfully,

Dear Pioneering601843,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

HSV1 is very common! This should not affect you getting a BBL at all. Now, that being said stress in general can cause an outbreak. Surgery is stress on the body. You may experience your very first outbreak post op from the stress of surgery on your body. You may want to take meds during this time to avoid that scenario.

Welcome to the club,

Half the population have antibodies to this virus so you are certainly not alone.

This should not prevent you from having elective surgery.

Disclose your full medical history on the intake of any proper consultation.
Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
