Can you have a Tummy Tuck and a Brazilian Butt Lift if you have Gum Disease?

If you have gone to the dentist and get in the diagnosis of gum disease then you need to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Only he or she can give you his or her recommendations on how to proceed.Good luck.Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

   This would really require communication from the dentist to assess the relative severity of the gum disease and whether any treatment is recommended.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It really depends on the procedure. Placement of breast implants should be avoided while there is active gum disease because the implants may become infected. Other procedures are probably ok, but you should ask yourself if your priority should be treatment of your gum disease and not your plastic surgery. See your surgeon to discuss this issue. 

Gum disease covers a wide gamut of conditions.  Much more information would be required to assess whether the surgery would be contraindicated at this time.
