I am 35 years old and was diagnosed in 2020 with ms. I have minor tingle / numbing in my fingers and in the past I've had a flare up when I was first diagnosed but I been going steady and everything looks good. I've been without flare ups over a year and I want a tummy tuck. I don't know who would perform as a few places turned me down even with a clearance from my primary and neurologist.

Answer: Possibly… Thank you for your question and sorry to learn of your diagnosis. A evaluation by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon in person would be required to properly determine how to best advise you. Flare ups in MS are not predictable but surgery, anesthesia, and recovery certainly represent a challenge to the body and the immune system. A decision to undergo surgery should be in coordination between your plastic surgeon, family doctor and neurologist. Best of luck to you. Consult with your doctors first, and if they feel it is possible, find a board certified plastic surgeon whose results and reviews appeal to you. Best of luck to you.
