I have the sickle cell disease. Should I forget about wanting cosmetic surgery specifically a Brazilian Butt Lift?

fallbutterflyDec 31, 2013
I spoke to my doctor and she told me because I have sickle cell that I am a higher risk than a person without sickle cell. I understand that however I am very healthy I have not had a crisis since I was a small child and I have a very good hemoglobin level. So because I have this disorder do I really have to give up on wanting the body that I want or is it still possible?

Your board certified plastic surgeon should give you specific instructions about how to sit and sleep after your surgery. Every surgeon is different in what they recommend.
