as a child and teen I had a skin limited variation of generalized morphea. It’s been over a decade since the disease has been active. Now as an adult I’d like to have a tummy tuck and arm lift. Can this be done safely?. Any doctors with experience performing surgery on those in remission for autoimmune disorders or doctors with experience treating morphea? Side note I’ve never had a rheumatologist, pain or tightness associated with my morphea. It mostly looks like lots of birthmarks.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear Dontwannabeflappynomore,as long as you get a clearance from your doctor, you might be a candidate for a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: After a childhood battle with autoimmune disorder, can I safely have tummy and arm lift as an adult? (Photo) Thank you for sharing your excellent question. As with any aesthetic procedure it is important to obtain medical clearance and/or optimization of any medical conditions prior to any operation. Though the morphea should not prevent you from surgery it would be wise to speak with a dermatologist. Hope this helps.
