What Type of Blood Work Needs to Be Done Before a BBL?
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.
Clinical Context
Pre-op bloodwork is tailored to the patient, not the specific cosmetic procedure. For a BBL, most healthy patients need only a basic blood count to check for anemia and confirm they're a safe candidate for anesthesia and blood loss during liposuction and fat grafting. Patients with other health conditions, certain medications, or a personal or family history of clotting problems may need additional tests. Your surgeon will decide what's necessary based on your overall health, not a fixed checklist.
