Hi, I was trying to set up a consultation with the doctor that I wanted to get a breast lift from, but they said because of the thalassemia cell they could not work with me. I tried explaining that it's just a trait in my genes, and I don't have the disorder, but they still said they couldn't work with me. Should I expect this from every plastic surgeon?

Answer: Breast lift ok Not at all, especially for the trait. Provided your blood work and medical clearance are ok, you should be able to have a breast lift, which is a very low risk procedure. We have treated many thalassemia patients over the years. An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

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