Can someone with young onset parkinsons disease with mild symptoms be considered for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation?

Question

I am 29 and likely have yopd. Mild dystonia and tremor along with nonmotor symptoms. Only medicated with toprol xl for tachycardia because thus far I do not want to take requip! Does having a neurological problem like this prevent elective surgery? I dont want to waste time or money on a consult if it is pointless to go...

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If you get medical clearance, the surgeries could be considered.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I would check with your neurologist, but I see no problem.  I tell women that I know what we do is not curing cancer, but the stuff we do is still VERY IMPORTANT to women!  So if you accept that elective plastic surgery does good things (for a lot of people at least), then why should you be denied? Good luck!

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

There is no reason not to proceed with a mommy makeover.  Certainly, this is something you should discuss with your neurologist as well as plastic surgeon.

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Good question. As long as your neurologist signs off on in as safe and the anaesthesiologist is comfortable giving you an anaesthetic there is no reason you shouldn't be able to have these procedures done safely. Best of luck!

Matthew H. Steele, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  I would say yes, you are a candidate provided that your neurologist signs off on the surgery. If they are ok with the procedure, then you should be safe to proceed. Good luck.
