Polycystic kidney disease could I still get a BBL?

Question

I’ve been on this journey for quite sometime and I’ve recently found out I have cyst on my kidneys . I do take 5mg of blood pressure meds but outside of that I’m healthy . Would I be a good candidate for a BBL?

Thank you for your question.You should discuss the kidney issue with an Internist or a Nephrologist. If you kidney function is fine BBL should not be a problem. All The Best !

Controlling high blood pressure can delay the progression of the disease and slow further kidney damage.  Without knowing the current kidney function and medical assessment, an informed response cannot be offered.

Given the information you provide this should be ok. Polycystic kidneys with controlled blood pressure are not a general contraindication to surgery. You need to get clearence for the responable anesthesist though.

Dear Momof21112,as long as you get a clearance from your doctor, you might be a candidate for a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
