Taking meds for HBP, High Calcium reading. Would I still be a good candidate for a BBL procedure?

Question

Hi. I am a 50 yr old women. I take meds for HBP. Calcium level reading 11.2, normal PTT. If the ultra sound comes back normal. All other tests are within range, EKG & Chest xray all good. Does the high calcium and HBP disqualify me for this procedure? I do realize this might not be enough, but based on what I've mentioned, would I still be a good candidate for this procedure?

Dear BadVibe21,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get clearance prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Most plastic surgeons who have lab tests ordered before cosmetic surgical procedures will review the tests. 
The results are generally sent to the ordering physician. 
The most common reason patient asked about lab test prior to cosmetic surgical procedures is because they’re planning on traveling out of the country or out of state for a discounted procedures. 
Your plastic surgeon is responsible for your well-being, including the assessment regarding the appropriateness of the procedure. likewise, the patient is responsible for choosing their provider.
If you have questions regarding an upcoming procedure, then you should ask your provider and get guidance from him or her.
If you’ve not had a consultation, then I suggest having multiple inperson consultation with local plastic surgeons in your community to help find the best provider.
You can review your medical history and any preoperative lab tests during the consultation.
I do not recommend traveling long distances for elective surgical procedures, and I especially recommend not leaving the country for these type of surgeries.
Each plastic surgeon will have their own criteria for what is or isn’t appropriate clearance for surgery.
Regarding general lab test values, I suggest you discuss this with your primary care physician.
Best,
