I will like to have a tummy tuck done, but on some of the sites, doctors say they do not do procedures on patients with lupus, I don’t have lupus, just unknown antibodies in my blood with no reason behind it.

Answer: Can you have tummy tuck and liposuction if you have a antibodies in your blood but no diagnosis of any autoimmune disease? It would be helpful to know you are being treated with any medications and your current health status. Provided the "autoimmune disorder" is under control, there may not be a contraindication to a TT. You would need to be cleared by your rheumatologist or other specialist who is treating you.
