I have Lupus & a Multiple Connective Tissue Disease. I'm interested in a tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction & a breast lift. I also have a small hernia that needs to be repaired. Every doctor I had a consultation with said they didn't want to perform the surgery because I have Lupus.

Answer: Mommy makeover in patient with lupus Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is still possible for you to have a mommy makeover. Lupus and other clotting disorders are not absolute contraindications for surgery. You may need special medicines around the time of your surgery to prevent blood clots, or perhaps you may need to stage your procedures. It is essential that you have an in-person consultation to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your personal surgical goals, and your body’s anatomy. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help refine this plan. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
