Breast augmentation candidate with diabetes
Yes, patients with diabetes are able to have breast augmentation. See your regular doctor or cardiologist to make sure that you are medically fit to have anesthesia and see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate for breast implants. I hope this helps

Breast augmentation is safe for diabetics.
Breast augmentation is safe for diabetics. I take extra precautions with all of my diabetic patients including:
ensuring good blood sugar control before, during, and after the operation
showering at home with a strong antibacterial soap before coming for surgery
more careful follow-up to ensure good wound healing

Cosmetic surgery in diabetics
The complication rates for diabetics are no different from non-diabetics as long as the blood sugar levels remain normal before, during and after surgery. The main issue is adjusting your insulin does before surgery as you will be without food for some hours before surgery. That should be done in cooperation with direct input from your internist. The situation is actually more complicated if you are not taking insulin. Some of the oral diabetic medications stay active in your body for a few...

Diabetes and breast augmentation
In most cases patients with well-controlled diabetes may undergo cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, without significant difficulty. I generally have my patients check with their primary care provider before proceeding with surgery. Glucose monitoring preoperatively is used to aid in the management of diabetic patients. Good luck.

Diabetes and cosmetic surgery
The short answer is yes, but you will need to have well controlled blood sugars and make sure that the medical doctor monitoring your diabetes is involved. After surgery you can have some fluctuations in your insulin levels so you may need closer monitoring than you usually do. A normal hgb A1c is the first requirement so I would encourage you to have this checked before seeing a plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr Kerr
