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: BBL candidate Dear Original677392, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your cardiologist prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

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!
