Can you have breast augmentation if you have high blood pressure?

Depends: This really depends on how high your blood pressure is, how well it is controlled and what other medical problems that you have. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who could discuss this issue with you and help you determine the best course of treatment for you.

Yes: Must be well- controlled 1st. Sometimes medical clearance required.

Safety in breast aug: There is no absolute contraindication to breast augmentation but safety is number one. Your internest and plastic surgery can give you the best advice. Well controlled high blood pressure is usually not an absolute contraindication.

Most likely: As others have pointed out, if your blood pressure is controlled, there should be no problem undergoing a breast augmentation. Ultimately, this is something that should be discussed with your medical doctor and your plastic surgeon. Since breast augmentation is generally an elective procedure, you really want to accurately assess your risks relative to the benefits of surgery.

Yes: You may have cosmetic procedures if your blood pressure is well controlled.

Yes: As long as your high blood pressure is well controlled and you don't have any other health issues.

Risks are elevated.: Certain risks are increased in patients undergoing surgery, especially the potential for bleeding & hematoma. However, it is even more important to view this in the overall picture of associated and contributory risks to cardiovascular disease and ability to tolerate surgery. If you are a post menopausal female over 50 with hypertension, you may be first asked to undergo a cardiac evaluation first.

Yes: Absolutely. Just gotta make sure the blood pressure is well controlled for the surgery.

Yes.: Well-controlled hypertension is not a contraindication to breast augmentation surgery. If in doubt, seek “medical clearance” by the doctors who know you best, prior to surgery. Best wishes.

Need to control it: High blood pressure needs to be properly treated prior to proceeding with any surgical procedure. You should be evaluated by your primary care physician before proceeding with breast augmentation surgery.

Hypertension: If you have high blood pressure and it is uncontrolled, then it would be wise to get the blood pressure under control prior to surgery. Having uncontrolled hypertension puts you at risk for postoperative complications such as bleeding, hematoma, take back, and unsatisfactory results.

Yes but...: Your blood pressure needs to be well controlled to minimize your risk of complications during and after your surgery.

Under control: Before you have any surgery you should have your BP under control.

Good control: If you blood pressure is under good control you are a candidate for breast augmentation. I would be sure to have a anesthesiologist perform your anesthesia so they can treat you blood pressure if it is required.

Yes if...: Patients with a variety of medical problems can safely undergo breast augmentation, assuming the medical conditions are well controlled. Discuss your goals/plans with your physicians and make sure your blood pressure is under “tight" control prior to proceeding. Best wishes.

Control is Key: Many disease processes can cause problems with surgery, and high blood pressure is one of them. Acute high blood pressure can increase the risk of bleeding, and has been associated with heart disease and strokes. Breast Augmentation can be done, with the proper precautions and good control. Your plastic surgeon may have you see your doc for optimal control, and an EKG may be requested.
