What Type of Blood Work Needs to Be Done Before a BBL?

Question

120 lbs 5'6 gaining weight for surgery

Steven H. Williams, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question -

	In our San Francisco area practice we perform this operation frequently.  Removing fat from areas you don't want it and placing it over the buttocks to increase projection and improve shape can be a very powerful technique.

	Usually for healthy patients a simple blood count is adequate.  

	If there are other medical issues then additional tests may be necessary.

	I hope this helps!

The type of pre-op testing needed depends on one's age and health. A young to middle age person may need basic blood testing which tests for blood count, coagulation and electrolye and basic enzymes. A patient over 40 will often needs an EKG. If there is any health issue involved, then other tests including a medical clearnce from an internist will be rquired.
