Answer: Surgery with A1c of 12? Hi and welcome to our forum!With an A1c of 12, you are at a high risk for problems even without surgery. Cardiac and kidney disease, circulatory problems, peripheral neuropathy, and eye disease may occur and there is the added risk of ketoacidosis.The surgical risk is prohibitive.Your diabetes must be controlled before any elective surgical procedure. Get your A1C below 7. Seek medical help from your primary care physician.Best wishes...

Answer: Liposuction and diabetes Uncontrolled diabetes (as evidence by high HgbA1c) does increase your chance of complications with ANY surgery, including BBL. I would recommend tighter glucose control before undergoing any elective surgery.

Answer: BBL with Hgb A1c 12? Hello and thanks for your questions. I'm very sorry to hear that you are battling with diabetes! While liposuction is sometimes an option for diabetic patients, I would advise that you get your A1c closer to 7 before pursuing any type of surgery. This is to make sure that you remain healthy and don't get an infection or suffer any complications that can happen due to consistently high blood sugars. The best person to discuss this with would be you primary medical doctor so that you can develop a plan together to assist you in achieving a lower A1c so that you can safely have your procedure.Best wishes!Dr. Brown

Answer: If getting a BBL with diabetes and you don’t have to get cut but your A1C is 12, is that a high risk of death? An A1C score above 9.0 is considered critically high and typically indicates that your blood sugar is not well controlled. Having a critically high A1C score increases the risk of post-operative infection and slows healing time. Revisit the PCP or whichever specialist is treating you for your diabetes to review life style changes: weight reduction, exercise, medication.
