Can I have a tummy tuck if I have rheumatoid arthritis?

Thank you for the question and congratulations on your successful weight loss! You should be very proud of this accomplishment.
 Yes, tummy tuck procedures can be done safely for patients with a variety of different “medical conditions”. Careful evaluation and treatment of the medical condition is necessary prior to determining the appropriate candidates for the tummy tuck procedure.  In your case this would be best done by your   rheumatologist.  The physicians who know your situation best would be best suited  to discuss your suitability for the procedure and the potentially increased risks/ complications that you should consider.
Also, please make sure you are seeking consultation with  well experienced board-certified  plastic surgeons who preferably work with board-certified anesthesiologists.
I hope this helps.  Best wishes.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! You will first need to speak with your rheumatologist about your interest in plastic surgery. If given clearance you can schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. Depending on what you have prescribed, you may need to be off some of your medications prior to surgery due to bleeding risk.

Congratulations on your weight loss!  Rheumatoid arthritis does not prevent a patient from being a good candidate for tummy tuck.  I have had patients with RA go on to have excellent results after cosmetic surgery.  It is important to discuss your complete health history with your board certified plastic surgeon so he or she can work together with your physicians to get all necessary preoperative clearances and plan any adjustments to medications needed before and after surgery.   Best of luck with your procedure!
