I have Sjogren's Syndrome. I feel normal, just don’t produce enough saliva. Would it affect me getting a BBL?

Was your Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) diagnosed as a primary (dry eye and dry mouth that is not associated with another autoimmune disorder) or secondary?  You should let your anesthesiologist know of your diagnosis as SS can increase the risks of general anesthesia.  If aware of the diagnosis of your SS, the anesthesiologist can take special measures to lower the risks of these complications.  Your rheumatologist must provide clearance and your medical history to your board certified PS so that he/she can determine if he/she thinks lipo and a BBL would be safe.

Dear cassienichole7,
if your condition is well controlled, you might be a candidate for a surgery. You might 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 primary doctor 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 :)

Usually the only issue with this condition is waking up with sore eyes or possibly corneal abrasion‘s sore throat, dry mouth which should all be managed during surgery by the anesthesiologist. If general anesthesia is not used then this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.  it’s possible the anesthesiologist may have some thoughts or questions but I think it’s mostly related to symptoms where fluid production is decreased that can cause the symptoms described above.It’s possible a plastic surgeon may ask for medical clearance from your primary care doctor or a rheumatologist..you can still move forward and have a few in person consultations to see if you’re a good candidate for the BBL in the first place.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
