Can you safely have a bbl while dealing with long covid? like with breathing issues, heart palpitations ? its been 2 years and a half since my covid infection
Answer: Surgery and Covid Hello and thank you for your question. In my clinic, we require a negative covid test one day prior to the surgery. If your test result is negative, we will continue with blood work, EKG, ultrasound (if needed), and chest X-rays to eliminate any issues. I suggest you ask your doctor what tests are included in your pre-surgery checks. Good luck.

Answer: Long Covid and cosmetic surgery You bring up an excellent question. I suggest first and foremost you discuss this with your primary care doctor. Each plastic surgeon will have their own review so you’ll need to find out firsthand what they have to say. They may want clearance from your primary care doctor or potentially an infectious disease specialist. If you are physiologically not having any shortcomings and then most likely you should be fine for elective surgery. heart palpitations by themselves do not necessarily indicate any cardiac abnormality.

Answer: Will long covid interfere with performance of a BBL? Hi and welcome to our forum!I am sorry that you are still going through the ravages of Covid 19. There is still much to learn about the complications of this illness. If you are still experiencing breathing issues, this may not be the time to consider BBL. During the procedure, you must be turned over from supine to prone, making the anesthesiologist's task difficult under normal circumstances. You require performance of pulmonary function studies with an evaluation and clearance from a pulmonologist before contemplating any cosmetic surgery. If the palpitations are a frequent occurrence, a cardiologist's evaluation and clearance may also be required. Best wishes...
