Is it possible to get a BBL with Crohn's disease?

Hello m.cokex, as long as you are otherwise a good candidate (ie, no other medical problems, acceptable height/weight, etc), and you don't have an acute flair of your crohn's, you should be ok to have a BBL. However, you would want your plastic surgeon to be in communication with your GI doc both to get the ok and to help manage your medication regimen in the perioperative period. You could probably plan to have the procedure toward the latter end of your injection interval. Hope this helps! Thanks, Brian

Dear m.cokex,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, your condition should be under control and you will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to 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.

This will depend upon how well the disease is controlled and the medications you are taking. You will also need clearance from the physician who is treating you for the CD.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Please talk to your primary doctor to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

My best guess is that your gastroenterologist might consider giving you clearance for an elective surgical procedure if this is something very important to you.

There may be some increased risk with your procedure and it would be who’ve you to confirm that you’re a good candidate from the procedure from a plastic surgeons perspective as well.

A lot of people want to have certain body changes but they’re simply not great candidates for the procedure while other people are spectacular candidates.

Talk to plastic surgeons about being a candidate for the procedure and your gastroenterologist about having elective surgical procedures.

You will need both doctors to be in agreement.

Best,
