Can I get elective surgery if I had hep c?

Asked By:buki3160 in Florida, FL

I recently found out I was exposed and contracted acute hep c in the past. My blood work shows I have the antibodies but not the virus itself. I am healthy otherwise and my bloodwork is all in good range (hemoglobin is almost 16 without any supplements). My question is does hep c interfere with cosmetic surgery if your levels are ok and your primary doc clears you? I have heard and read conflicting things on this. Thank you in advance!
