Hello,
Compensated liver failure or borderline liver failure is a concern with any form of surgery. In my opinion, you should get your liver function tests within normal range before you start contemplating other procedures.
In any case, make sure your doctors know your liver status as drug dosages may need to be altered based on the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
