Can I get tummy tuck and lipo with fat transfer with type 2 diabetes (had high cholesterol and fatty liver)? (Photos)

Dear cambios21,
as long as your diabetes is well controlled, you can get tummy tuck. Based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If you are otherwise healthy with a BMI of 30 or below, and your type 2 diabetes is under control, you could be a candidate for a tummy tuck. Your board certified plastic surgeon will require clearance from your PCP.

Your diabetes has to be under control and you will need medical clearance from your primary care physician. I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. After this, you can consider a Brazilian butt lift.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your pictures and questions. If you diabetes is under good control, and your BMI is less than 30, then you likely would be a candidate for surgery. I advise against doing a tummy tuck and BBL at the same time, I would decide which one is more important to you and spend the money to find the right surgeon, now is not the time to bargain shop.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Assuming your diabetes is well-controlled then it should not preclude you from surgery. As for your fatty liver, this warrants some additional information to ensure your safety.

As long as your diabetes is well controlled and you have clearance from your treating physician you may have the procedures that interest you. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. Here you can learn more about the procedures and get a quote.

If you medical doctor gives you approval for elective surgery, then you are a candidate. You should discuss this first with your medical doctor.

YES! you can have surgeries with full written medical clearances from your primary doctor and DM doctor. If doing in office surgery setting you will need 2 separate operations. in either order. Full TT with muscle repair. Then lipo 360 (max 4 liters of fat by rule)with BBL. Fees range from $15,000 total. Or if doing as outpatient overnight in hospital can do both together in 1 surgery. Fee $20,000.
