Hello. If I have well controlled hypertension and Premature Ventricular Contractions, can I still qualify to have a BBL done by a board certified plastic surgeon?

Answer: Hypertension and PVC. Can I still get a BBL? For all of my patients who are older than 45 years of age or have any medical co-morbidity such as high blood pressure or heart issues, I send for medical clearance before surgery. This may be with their PCP or a cardiologist depending on what the medical issue is. It is always best to be safe.

Answer: Hypertension and PVCs Hypertension and occasional PVCs by themselves are not a contraindication to having elective surgical procedures Hypertension and occasional PVCs by themselves are not a contraindication to having elective surgical procedures. It is important that your hypertension is well-controlled. I suggest discussing this during in person consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
