Can a person w/ Hepatitis B still be eligible for a chin implant procedure?Also what do cosmetic surgeons look for in blood test from patients?
Answer: Universal Precautions during patient care and surgery
Surgeons follow something we refer to as "Universal Precautions" for every patient we encounter, meaning we follow strict steps to ensure there is no possible transmission of disease. Therefore a person with HepB can still be a candidate for cosmetic surgery. Labwork will depend on the procedure you are having, and your comorbidities.

Answer: Can a Person W/ Hepatitis B Still Be Eligible for Cosmetic Surgery?
Hepatitis B is not a contraindication to plastic surgery as long as your liver function is adequate. You will want to talk with your primary care doctor or hepatologist to make sure that your liver function is adequate to tolerate IV sedation or general anesthesia if recommended by your plastic surgeon. I hope this information is helpful.

Answer: Hepatitis B and a chin implant
It is acceptable to undergo elective cosmetic surgery including a chin implant if you have hepatitis B. Is important to check with your family physician, and make sure that the disease is not active, and your liver function tests are normal.

Answer: Can a person with Hepatitis B still have cosmetic surgery?
As long as the overall health of the patient is good, someone with a past history of Hepatitis B still could have cosmetic surgery. A person who is symptomatic from an active infection of Hepatitis B would not be a good candidate for any elective surgery. The health of the patient would also determine which blood tests, if any, would be ordered prior to surgery. For a procedure, such as a chin augmentation with an implant, there is very little blood loss and in a healthy patient it's possible that no blood tests would be needed.
