I am scheduled for lipo on my lower stomach and under my chin next Wednsday. I am 27 years old, in good health, but I have high blood pressure for reasons my doctor cannot figure out. This has been an issue since I was 13, and I am not on blood pressure medication. They believe it is partly just because it runs in my family, combined with "white coat syndrome" ( I get extremely anxious around doctors) When booking my surgery my blood pressure wasn't taken. Will this be an issue?

Answer: Isolated elevated blood pressure is not necessarily a contraindication to surgery.
