Would Ulcerative colitis or rheumatoid arthritis have an affect on Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

Question

Hello doctors, Thank you for your time. Can someone explain if these diseases make this surgical procedure more difficult or is it more of a after care worry. I have procitis. I have mild to no symtoms and do not take any medication. Also to my shock had a blood test which indicated a high rheumatoid arthritis factor. I have never had one symtom. What are the risk when on the surgery table? What are the risks after surgery? And why do some doctors refuse to consider me as a patient? Kind regards

Dear nataliah86,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Your conditions should be under control 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.

Sometimes these diseases can have major implications for elective surgical procedures and sometimes the medication‘s used can increase the risk of surgical complications though overall by themselves most likely they should not prohibit you from having an elective surgical procedure.

The first person to talk to you is the Doctor Who is managing these conditions for you.  this might be a gastroenterologist or rheumatologist or simply your primary care doctor. ask the doctor if they’re willing to give medical clearance then start having in person consultations and you’ll hear what each plastic surgeon has to say as well as getting an assessment to see if this is a good procedure for you.

Not everybody is a good candidate for a BBL regardless of a medical profile.

Best,

Any patient with an autoimmune disease is going to be at a higher risk of complications following any surgery than a similar patient without those medical conditions. This is simply a byproduct of the disease process itself as people with autoimmune problems tend to have higher rates of wound healing problems, etc. However, this doesn't preclude you from having the surgery in the first place. The best option is to have an open and thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon regarding your specific options and risks.
