I have a kidney transplant, I wonder if I can get liposuction?

Question

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. You maybe a candidate. Since you have kidney disease you would need to get a clearance from your nephrologist for surgery.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If you are otherwise healthy with a BMI approaching 30, you might be a candidate for lipo with medical clearance from your transplant surgeon and nephrologist.  Without knowing the current kidney function and medical assessment, an informed response cannot be offered.

Dear nmcmath03,
you will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your nephrologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

You would need to consult with your specialist first. After being cleared the next step is consulting a board certified plastic surgeon. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
