Is it safe to get fat transfer to the face if you have multiple sclerosis and on Ms medication?

I’m guessing most plastic surgeons would want you to get clearance from your rheumatologist or neurologist depending on who’s managing the disease.

Facial fat transfer can be fickle and it’s in inherently unpredictable procedure. I generally steer people towards fillers as a more consistent, forgiving and predictable procedure.v

It’s very rare the face develops infections so most likely you would tolerated procedure well without having complications but having the insight from the doctor prescribing your medication‘s would be helpful.

Schedule a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who seem to have a knack or extensive experience for this procedure.

You should also talk to your MS managing physician as well.
