I am in search for a surgeon who specializes in bbl. Unfortuately i ha e been turned down a few times now due to my cardiac history. I have had surgeries in the past including a tummy tuck(12yrs ago)but for some reason my pacemaker(ive had for 16 yrs) is scaring off surgeons. Are there any surgeons out there that will do a bbl on someone like me. Or should i give up looking? Everything else i pass with flying colors but when i say pacemaker i fail.
Answer: Are there surgeons who do high risk (pacemaker) BBLs or should I give up? Hello @Original677392, thank you for your question. . It is absolutely essential that you obtain clearance from your cardiologist. That said, Many conditions allow surgical procedures to be performed, however, an assessment appointment and medical examination are required to determine whether they can be performed. To obtain more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: To be good candidate for the surgery we need a cardiologist clearance. Thank you for your question. for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Answer: Pacemaker BBL I'm sorry for your frustration with this. This all has to do with keeping you safe. In the event that something goes wrong with your pacer during the surgery and you have a cardiac issue many plastic surgeons perform these procedures in smaller office or surgery centers that don't have the staff and capability to handle these sorts of events. But all hope isn't lost! You will need to find a surgeon that is willing to do your surgery in a hospital center where these capabilities are available (provided everything else is cleared medically for you by your cardiologist). Be aware that doing cosmetic surgery in a hospital setting is often more expensive. Hope this helps!
