I'm 29 year old and I'm patient whit rheumatoid arthritis! The risk is big if I do a Tummy tuck?

Thank you for the question. This will depend on the severity of your Rheumatoid Arthritis and the medications your are on. If you are not severe and well controlled there should be no problems with surgery. However, the more severe the stronger the medications to control your RA. Some of the medications can impede your ability to heal and may need to be discontinued before the procedure.I would therefore recommend a discussion with both, your Rheumatologist and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a discussion of your goals and review of your condition.I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Dany,Thanks for your question.The best answer is to consult with your Rheumatologist and Plastic Surgeon together to make sure there are no concerns.  I do not feel there are any contraindications, but you medications should be reveiwed and your Rheumatologist notified.Best of luck.Dr. T
